[quote=Anonymous]Interesting topic and one that my wife and I have had brief conversations about.  DD is off to college in 2027 and while DS is now at home going to school locally, he'll be moving on as well in the next few years.  Current house really is way more than we need.

Not in the DC metro area, but I get it.  I grew up in suburb that bordered the city of Pittsburgh and it was such a different experience that what my kids have had and we are dealing with today.

We could walk everywhere and actually get to places - school, park w/ community pool, friends houses, grocery store, local shops, restaurants etc.  All of that was no more than a 10 or 15 minute walk away.  I could walk to the top of my neighborhood street and catch a bus into Pittsburgh.  Now, everywhere is a car ride, no matter what you want to do.

I'd love to get back to that kind of arrangement.  While what I experienced was not "true" city living, it was much more like that than what we are dealing with today.  [/quote]
