[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I lived in the city for 8 years before moving out to the burbs (no kids).  I thought it would be hard to leave the city but I love the burbs so much more (I am in the Virginia burbs now).  The burbs are all about convenience, space, and quiet.  While I did like walking everywhere and I've gained 20 pounds in the last 3 years of living out in the burbs simply from lack of walking, I love everything else about being in the burbs.  Now when we go into the city for dinner or something I find myself feeling annoyed--at the lack of parking, the traffic, the crazy busy pace.  I like the laid back pace of the burbs.  [/quote]
It's true, inconvenience and public transportation make you thin. Live in NE DC and hate driving so we end up walking a mile or so to get anywhere. Too cumbersome to lug back a lot of groceries so we forego junk food, too cheap to go out so we cook. On the bright side we look great even though we never go to the gym and toddler DS loves walking around the neighborhood because he always sees trucks.

That said I went to my hometown this weekend, which is slow, adorable, cheap. There is parking everywhere and you can drive to the beach in 30 min. Needless to say I was a little jealous of friends that stayed. OP you will get used to your new digs soon. If you don't you can always rent it out and move elsewhere. [/quote]
