re: Where would you rather raise children: the suburbs, the city, or the country?

Burbs but never further than 15 miles away from downtown. I don't get people who buy homes 20+ miles away, especially in towns where traffic is volatile.

Happy doesn't pay the bills. Therefore, if I can't afford shite, I'm not happy with my life. Jobs are something that we have to do to sustain a way of life. No one loves going to work, but you shouldn't hate it either. Might as well find something that pays well so you can afford to do things you like to do when you are away from work. Amirite?

Easy, country. I grew up in New Orleans, where my kids grew up in the country. They are like me. Why the hell put up driving in traffic 2 hours + a day to only drive 10 miles?

I guess I have to choose a fourth option. My city is lower in population (200,000k), but it's fairly dense, urban, and the 'second city' of a large metro area. It suits my family fine so I guess I will go with that. I don't know if you would call it a true city. Not as bland as the 'burbs, not as dense as a major city, but 40 minutes from one. I can also hit three different national parks in a couple hours and total wilderness.

So material things are what make you happy?
Can I ask...are you married and do you have kids?

1) Suburbs if a nice school system is in my region
2) Country if we have land and also good school system
3) City no way period

My family makes me happy the most. Family vacations, a 5th wheel camper to vacation with my family makes me happy, a nice house in a good neighborhood, the ability to have a house in a good school district, hunting lease, a 4 wheeler, etc.
Most of those things are hard to enjoy (if you enjoy that stuff) without some extra income.

Yep, with two little ones.

i don't see how anyone could be happy without a little disposable income. i'd be miserable without it.

money doesn't cure every problem, but it sure cures a lot of them. money is what enables someone to have a nice house in a nice neighborhood as opposed to a trailer in the boonies.

Suburbs with a good park/school system
We are too active to be happy in the country. Wouldn't mind having a weekend "get-away" camp in the country though.

Too active to be in the country? That doesn't make sense to me.

He could mean they are very active in their community(kids play sports, they are involved with other groups, etc,etc ) and wouldn't want to live so far away from all of it in the country. That's my guess.
