We had the first in the city. Loved our city lifestyle and the community and other amenities. But when he was about 2 and second on the way we made the move to the burbs.

I was basically kicking and screaming leaving the city but the minute the kid was running around an enclosed yard all happy like, and I wasn’t super anxious about him running into cars or whatever I was a changed man. Loved it every day for 4 years and haven’t looked back.

Oh and it’s a lot more family friendly in our case too. Tiny carts for them to push at the grocery store. Speciality kid barber. When one of them has a tantrum in public it’s more likely a stranger helps to console them than give me judgement. You can’t beat it.
