[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't give a hoot about space and yards.  All we want is our happy, walkable, neighborly row house life on the Hill, thanks.  We'll suffer for it.  We'll pay tutors, we'll commute to schools, we'll fill in middle school rigor gaps ourselves.

So you're happy, but what about your kids? How are they happy if they have to do so much supplementing after already being in school all day?[/quote]

Supplementing and having to drive your kids to extracurriculars and sports sucks up a lot of time when the school doesn’t meet these needs.  Also the neighborhood kids disperse to different schools and friends in elementary are no longer friends in the teenage years when not together at school.

I would argue that the burbs where all the kids go to the same school K-12 and majority are involved in after school activities promotes more cohesive neighborhood friends.

PP isn’t thinking of her kids but herself.  Also as your kid gets older, you and they will want more space.  Being in a row house with 2 young kids is totally different ballgame than being in a small row house with 2 big teenagers, not to mention having friends over.

I obviously have a biased sample because I live on the Hill, but I don't know any teenagers -- especially those pre-driving age -- who wouldn't rather live in the city than the burbs. [/quote]
