You guys always make fun of me for being a suburbanite but the older forumers here know that I was very much a subway riding, renting, car-lite resident of east coast cities for years. Truth is, I BADLY want to live in Chicago. But I just can't, the jobs in my industry in Chicago suck--they pay less and the lifestyle is worse. And that is a very important consideration. I would totally raise my kids in the city. I already own property in the city and I intend to own more.

Plus my wife, once a lover of city life, is starting to become a suburbanite. So it's an uphill battle for me!
