[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on whether you’re in a city/suburb/rural area. In some burbs in the US, it’s not possible to walk 30 min in one direction without hitting a 4-lane busy road that has no sidewalks or crosswalks.[/quote]

I know and find that pretty sad. I would feel trapped. Never understood the appeal of suburbs. [/quote]

You must be very well-off. Cities are for the rich, the young & the poor.

It’s very difficult to afford a good QOL as a middle class family in a city. [/quote]

DP. For me good QOL includes being able to walk to shopping, dining and the library.  So, I live in a city (Brooklyn) the way people in Europe live in the cities.  [/quote]

Most people can’t afford to both live in Brooklyn & give their kids a good education. And, live in a residence that’s more than 2 bedrooms. [/quote]

PP.  I have 2.5 bedrooms - the 0.5 is the dining room that we closed off.  Read my comment again - very few families in European cities have more than 2 bedrooms, and they manage fine.   We just don't buy and store tons of crap.[/quote]

That's a pretty idealized view of Europe. I hate to break it to you, but suburbs are growing pretty fast in Europe  [/quote]
