[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You would hate it worse raising a growing child in a 800 sq ft home.  I had one child in a 1300 sq ft home and nearly went nuts with the lack of space.  Do you really want to raise your child in a closet?  [/quote]

this.  Soon enough, your child will be able to run around the yard freely.  It is nice to be able to say "go outside and play".  Sounds like you moved to an empty nester neighborhood.  We made that same mistake.  Boring as hell.  We rarely even saw our neighbors.  Everyone just pulled into their garage and never came outside.  We ended up moving to a cul-de-sac, and it has been much better.  But I'm tired of the suburbs now.  I wish there was somewhere with an urban feel, but also affordable, good schools, low crime.[/quote]

This what? PP seems to have some organizational challenges not to be able to live with ONE kid in a 1300 sq feet home. Much nicer than "go out and play" (alone or with just one sibling) is "let's walk to the neighbor's house so you can have a fun play date. Will be back in an hour." Which you can do easily when you live in the city in townhouses and near playgrounds.[/quote]

It is crazy to gamble a house on the assumption that the child will be interested in going outside to play. She might or might not, or most likely, will be for just a short time.[/quote]

It's crazy to assume that kids should get some outdoor play?

Cheers to your fatty kid, PP![/quote]

G-d help me for repeating "fatty kid" (out of which orifice belching unadulterated nastiness did you pull that?!!), but you do realize that city kids (and adults) tend to be thinner, right?

And our kids do get outdoor play. We walk to playgrounds just as we walk everywhere else. Hell, in DC, which is actually a relatively sparsely settled city, there are plenty of homes and apartment buildings with lawns, even in some of the central city.[/quote]

Obesity rates in DC are higher than in the surrounding suburban jurisdictions.  Did you really not know this?  [b]Perhaps you exclude certain children from your calculus, just as you exclude their parents from your vision for the city's future.[/b] [/quote]

They're, quite simply, the city's past. And they're likely part of the suburbs' future. [/quote]
