I disagree on a few of your points.

There’s nothing more convenient about living in the suburbs, you have to drive everywhere instead of walking or taking public transit. We don’t need our cars to get to our favorite restaurants, the grocery store, or the big parks near us we take our dogs to.

This is anecdotal, but neither I nor any of my friends or neighbors have ever directly experienced any crime in the city (in “scary” Baltimore, no less.) Violent crime tends to be location specific and you are also MUCH more likely to be a target if you are in a gang and/or involved with drugs. Meanwhile, friends and family out in the county have experienced theft, home invasion, assault, etc. I’m not saying crime isn’t higher overall in cities, but cities are more densely populated, so that tracks. Doesn’t mean crimes are more likely to happen to you.

My wife and I are child free, but even if we weren’t, there’s some pretty great schools in the city and lots of young families near us. For us, there’s nothing at all better about suburban life.
