My first video for TV cable channel LOGO's website dropped tonight! I'm giddy to partake in Ask An Expert (By the way, I love the company I am keeping below!)

Boy, you are all over the place! Everywhere I go, I see your face. Good job jonlucchese 03/23/2011 02:57
On the flipside, moving to the suburbs will increase our pink political clout in traditionally conservative districts! jen V 03/23/2011 02:57
Jon – that’s a REALLY good point! Readers – do you live in the suburbs outside a major city? Where? And what is your experience? jonlucchese 03/23/2011 02:58
I live in Walnut Creek, which is about 45 minutes east of San Francisco. I “work and play” in SF, or the City, too. I have been considering moving out to the City but enjoy the weather (it’s much warmer here in the summer) in the East Bay and, also, most of my family lives out here. You’d think given it’s suburbia that there isn’t much gay life out here but Walnut Creek is a sophisticated city with good shopping and lots of nature so it attracts a lot of gay people who don’t like the SF urban life very much. morgan said 03/23/2011 02:59
I prefer living in the suburbs to living in the middle of the city. Where I live it’s quieter and less dirty than in the city. herman 03/23/2011 02:59
thanks for all the comments. it’s not about which is better, suburb vs urban. i think it all boils down to doing what is best for one’s needs. lots of lgbtq people live perfectly happy lives outside the city too. ;-) Kate 03/23/2011 03:00
Ugh, I’m am living this bad decision. We bought a house in the ‘burbs before adopting our daughter (we’ve always been downtown apartment dwellers) and HATE it. There is nothing in the ‘burbs for our daughter that we couldn’t have in the city…in fact, we’re in the car constantly to head into the downtown for the galleries, parks, festivals, farmer’s markets, etc. Our plan is to sell in the next couple of years and buy something much smaller in the downtown, for about the same price, and live in a small space, but have culture and fun on our doorstep. Oh, and more space = more stuff to fill the space – and stuff is just that – it costs money, takes up space and collects dust. herman 03/23/2011 03:00

@ps2os2 thx for the breakdown of sample chicago suburbs! by the way, does chicago has a lgbtq suburb? kate 03/23/2011 03:01
@ Herman – actually, there are some decent and some lousy schools in our area, and the downtown has some lousy and two really fantastic schools. So we’re just counting this as a lesson learned. (We definitely could have used your excellent advice three years ago!) herman 03/23/2011 03:01
@kate if it is any consolation, your comments here are going to really help someone who is going thru the same decision you guys went thru. thank you for sharing again! 07/23/2012 01:52
