In terms of space, we could definitely have a bigger house and much more land if we lived in the suburbs. However, we wonder if it would be worth

it, since we would lose

so many conveniences. Stores would be farther

away, and so would friends, neighbors, movie theaters, museums, and restaurants.

The+sscbiggest inconvenience would be that we would both have to commute to work every day instead of walking or taking the bus. Th.?chools are probably better in the suburbs, but for our child, who isn't even bom yet, school is several years away.

In looking at our priorities, it becomes clear that we should continue

to live in the city for now and then reevaluate our decision closer to school age.
