[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to live in Brooklyn and loved it. If I was still living there I would have done just like your friend. No way, I would have moved to some borring suburbs with long commute when there are so many great places to live in Brooklyn. I would have found a solution for schools just like many of my friends who are now raising their families in NY city. We all understand your friend very very well.[/quote] OP here. Having never lived in Brooklyn, I guess I don't understand it because for them it's just not sustainable. Not to give too much away about her personal situation, but her DH does not even work in Brooklyn--- he actually commutes an hour to work (!!). But they continue to live there because they love it, and their lottery situation DID work out for them (albeit with the last minute, literally day-before-school call). I think in retrospect she thinks it was all worth it but at the time it was quite stressful. [/quote]
