After 22 years working in Manhattan, I can't imagine how anyone could live here. It would feel like sleeping in your business suit. There has to be a quieter place to go home to, and not be 'on' all day.

By contrast, I get what appeals to people about rural life, but it's really hard to adjust to it if you reach adulthood living in cities and/or suburbs. There's too much convenience to give up, & the isolation can be unnerving.

Not the suburb I just escaped. Houses being built on top of each other, horrendous traffic, increasing crime, exorbitant taxes....

Key places within walking distance? If you have that, you don’t live in the suburbs.

Even in the town I grew up in, you could walk to the mall.

I lived in downtown Minneapolis. Had a park across the street, stores downstairs, and a dozen bars within a few blocks. Was also fairly quiet and perfectly safe at night. Now live in SW suburb. Love the schools, but once kids graduate, I'm back downtown.

I'm convinced 1 of my sons feels the same way I do. We, in NY, are spoiled. We live on Long Island w/ beautiful beaches, have the world's best city less than 1 hour away, & can go to the mountains & lakes upstate also w/in hours. What's not to love? Taxes & the governor.
