On the flipside, moving to the suburbs will increase our pink political clout in traditionally conservative districts!

Jon – that’s a REALLY good point! Readers – do you live in the suburbs outside a major city? Where? And what is your experience?

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.

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.

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. ;-)

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.

kate is the perfect example of someone who values lifestyle over size. being in the thick of things, hub of activity is more important than having more sq ft.

@kate one thing u didn’t mention is schooling. is there any trade off being in the city of burbs for your daughter?

It really depends on which suburbs you are talking about.
Example Chicago:
1. We have anti Jewish subsurbs
2. We have Tea Party suburbs
3. We have suburbs that rival the city in Crime.

INVESTIGATE before even looking at houses !!!!!

Believe me no gay person would be safe in either of those cities.

@ 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!)
