The only point to living in the city was being close to the office to spare us a commute. So we put up with the expensive housing, crowded conditions, crime, etc, because at least we weren’t spending two hours in the car every day.

But now? With everyone working mostly from home? Why would ANYONE, especially families, *choose* to live in the city if they didn’t have to?

Because full time telework won't last forever?  Because we like walking to things? Going to restaurants that aren't Applebees? Being able to have more than two drinks at a party or bar without paying $50 to get home (and back to your car the next day) and wondering if you will even be able to get an Uber to the ass end of nowhere? Being able to go to a museum or concert or play without it being an all day production? Because we actually understand statistics and know that there is no practical difference between your likelihood of being murdered whether you live in the city or suburbs as long as you're not selling drugs or joining a gang?  Because we don't want to contribute to wasteful, car-based, suburban sprawl lifestyles?

So yeah, there are plenty of reasons ANYONE would choose to live in a city, or were you only asking from a Karen perspective?

2020 and you’re still making Applebee’s “jokes”[/quote]

It's pretty telling that out of the 20 reasons listed, all you can find to disagree with is the particular brand of shitty suburban chain restaurant mentioned.  [/quote]

All those “reasons” are valid ..... for someone in their early-mid 20’s. Worrying about what bar is stumbling distance home? How many times do I need to see a museum? I’m a better cook than any restaurant. Concerts? When has anyone been to a concert lately? Or when will there be a concert again?

Your reasons are juvenile. They all orient around some variation of “being where the action is”

I’m an adult. I saw plenty of action when I was 24.

I’m a grown-up now, and [b]I want a nice, quiet, boring neighborhood “at the ass-end of nowhere”[/b], where I can leave my car and doors unlocked, raise my kids in a good school, and never have to worry about whether I’m going to be the NEXT Seth Rich.

You’ll grow up too, one day.  [/quote]
What the f*** you doing in DC then?
Take your ass to Montana and ranch up.[/quote]

You don’t need to live in Montana. I’m 16 miles east of DC and have 6 acres with horses and a pond. Wouldn’t trade my place for ANY house in DC [/quote]
And you don't live in DC so your thoughts on the matter are irrelevant.  Bye.[/quote]
