Anyone ever move from an urban area to the burbs? Vol. First time home buyer

[high class scum bag]

i'm in the process of doing the opposite. i'm going from a very suburban Plano, TX outside of Dallas to downtown LA. I hope i can adjust.

Once you move to the suburbs, you'll find that it's stupid quiet in the neighborhood. I can hear the USPS and UPS truck from way down the street.

Now don't get me wrong I would love the start one as early as possible if the financial side of life was peachy, but being a young bachelor in the City of all cities with cake..

You have to make that sacrifice and make the move to the burbs You already know it's best for your family.

i see where youre coming from....but i also see it the other way around
cuz you would think... having cake+living in the city=

when you thinkat all the fun+fast girls you can have
but...all these damn girls now seem to wanna be married or at least have a ring on their finger before 30. i dont wanna be that 1 guy who's 35 and stilllooking for a wife

(and 1 who isnt divorced and with kids)

Just don't dive into the city life too quickly. Moderation FTW, especially in a city like LA where there is something to do every night.

This makes me glad to live where I do live. We got backyards, trees, lakes, deer, what have you but we're 2 minutes from downtown Minneapolis. Tons ofschools to chose from, everything is in walking distance. It's the best of both worlds. Nothing like that in your area?

I grew up in the BURBS. It's nice for family raising, but I could never go back to it. Gotta drive just to get some damn milk. We're going to buy ahouse in the neighborhood we're in and this is where we are staying.

Na theres definitely no houses with big yards and space and all that within walkin distance from downtown anywhere here

its all good, im gonna go ahead and make an offer this week. Im lookin forward to having a big yard for my dog to roam and having a 4 car garage to fill upwith whips and having some peace and quiet as well. I know my wife wants to move and it will be best for the kid so they come first.

[lazyj10]

Sounds good, no debate. Go for it.
