[quote=Anonymous]I love it here. I have a 6 mile commute that on a good day is 15 minutes and, a bad one, about 45. On average 25 minutes. I pay a little over $1600 a month for daycare for my twin toddlers. Daycare is a block and a half from my office. I have a 3 bdrm condo in a working class neighborhood that should turn around in a 5 - 7 years. The thing is - it's all about choices. When I look at jobs, I won't go outside of a 10 mile radius of my home (or over a bridge) unless it has flexible hours and a significant salary increase. I barely notice the other kids and parents at daycare much less worry about what they might think of me. My focus and decision making priority is to be able to provide a comfortable, advantageous life for my twins and to spend as much time with them as I reasonably can and keep my job. That plus all of the diversity and cultural enrinchment available -- I don't think you can beat this town if you have your priorities straight.[/quote]
