    City.
    Suburbs in 3 years when daughter is around 3-4. Live in a condo now and want backyard, basement, privacy, less crime, slower pace. Somewhere with enough trees that we can pitch a tent in the backyard and neighbors won't really care.

    • Exactly!Ben99
    • Do you feel like going away from city is kinda of "ok, i won't be cool anymore and became a subburb dude that like beer and football" ?Ben99
    • Well, I already like beer, and I'm as indifferent to football as I am laser tag, so, I think I'll do just fine. :Dmg33
    • And, it's more about providing for our daughter. You saw what Chicago was like briefly. I can't imagine having a kid who can walk out of the house in the areamg33
    • we currently live in. Too much crime, too busy, too many unknowns.mg33
    • ;-)
      yeah i totally understand that. i would do the same if i had a kid.

    • how will commuting to work will go when you move? lots of traffics to get to Chi-Town no?Ben99
    • Depends on how far north and where. A close suburb has trains and the El, and is not a long drive. More concerned for my wife and her drive time since she's notmg33
    • downtown. She's about a mile or two north of where we live. We'll have to get a second car then for sure.mg33
    • thats the big downside of subburb. Traffic jam and lots of time wasted in a car/bus/train. But lots of good things too.Ben99
