To me it's the complete opposite. How can you raise children in the city? They can't go out without a parent watching over them, they don't even have a garden to play outside. By moving to the suburbs, my kids can just get on their bike, scooter or skateboard and meet up with their friends at their home or at the park, even as young as 8, it's a pretty safe place and they've got plenty of outdoors to enjoy. We have room for the pool as well as the trampoline, playing soccer and kids can just walk to school super early.

I moved in to the city when I was 14, after growing in the country/suburbs, when you're a teen, it's fun to take the bus to go watch a movie with your friends without relying on a parent driving you there and back. But younger than that, take your bike and you've got complete freedom!

I couldn't imagine raising my kids in the city so we moved out before having them, now I can't imagine moving into the city ever again, I actually almost never go to the city except to visit friends or some museums, too many people, bricks and asphalt.
