[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The idea that kids aren't kids if they don't have a backyard is ridiculous.  [b]Tons of kids are raised in cities. [/b]

I would not move to either of those two states. I'd pick New England or parts of CA.[/quote]
Yes, but given the choice, a yard for kids is always better.  [/quote]

Better is relative. Sure a yard is nice, but is it better for a kid to have a yard  or  to not spend  their childhood racially bullied, orthered, discriminated against, and face microaggressions from the time they are 3 years old until they are 18?  Social and emotional health is very important in kids too.[/quote]
You have got to be joking.  There are millions of nonwhite kids who live in the 'burbs who don't get bullied.

Some of the most diverse small cities in the country are in the burbs in MD - Rockville, Gaithersburg, Germantown -- all areas with homes with big yards.

We are a biracial family, and we moved here specifically for the yard space and diversity.  My kids' schools are almost 25% each white/asian/black/hispanic with tons of biracial children.

And my biracial DC hates city living.[/quote]
Burbs aren't known for being diverse.
You akcnowledge the importance of diversity, but  want to mock me for saying that emotional health is important in choosing a living space for a child. Interesting. 
It's not all about bullying, thought that does happen) it;s about being othered, being the token , the constant microagressions. I lived it, which is why I said why I said.
