Parisian here. I really like the countryside, fresh air, nature. Seeing nothing but high-rise buildings and pavement are just depressing to me. But our jobs are very city-dependent, the best schools are usually in or near cities, and I do like having walkability to shops and restaurants... so a suburban home seems a good compromise. Right now we're near downtown Bethesda.
