[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Suburbs and city are different lifestyles. Most people, if they have the money, choose the city but some don’t. You’ll have way more people in the suburbs want to move back to the city and discuss it than the reverse, because there’s a whole range of passable suburbs with decent education that goes beyond what is mentioned here (Scarsdale Milburn etc, which is a very narrow slice of suburbia)[/quote]

I dislike the suburbs but this just isn't true. I can easily afford living in the city, independent school etc. but if I could move to a rural area in the mountains I would do it in a heartbeat. Not everyone is enamored with city life. [/quote]

So you dislike the suburbs and wouldn’t move to the city despite having the means. Guess you’re a tougher than average customer [/quote]

I live in Manhattan and like it fine, but I love being out in nature more. I think there are a lot of people like me who are tied to the city for professional reasons but would move if they could work fully remote or retire early.  Many of my friends in tech did just that after the pandemic. [/quote]

The question here isn’t city or move to Jackson WY or Woodstock VT. It is tristate suburbs or the city. [/quote]

The post I was replying to said: 
"Suburbs and city are different lifestyles. Most people, if they have the money, choose the city but some don’t. You’ll have way more people in the suburbs want to move back to the city." I think that just isn't true - most people in the U.S. do not like city life and prefer to be near but not in the city.  Is it so hard to believe that NYC (Manhattan) isn't the center of the universe? [/quote]
