[Gingersnap]

My generation is living in the city now. My wife and I (we're both 24) bought our house last year in the city. 4 couples we are good friends with did the same. All mention gas prices as one of the reasons.

Everybody does that at your age. So did my husband and I. But eventually the charms of 24 hour Thai food and cheap Cosmos fades in the face of poor schools, unsafe streets, and sky-high housing costs.

Where I live is still funneling into the best public school in the county (which is why housing has increased so much in my side of town vs the rest)
