Very cute video.

As you have lived both in the city and in the suburbs, you should have a reasonable view on the advantages and disadvantages of each.

- As a general rule, a city apartment provides fantastic access to culture, music, people, restaurants, libraries, shopping, etc., all easily accessible by walking or a great metro system. Core disadvantages are smaller dwellings and close neighbors.

- On the other hand, suburban houses provide the option of very large dwellings, large yards and significant distance from neighbors. Some call it a "flight" from crime and grime; a loaded word which has generated decades of tears and heartaches in Boston. A key price of suburbia is reduced access to the world and the "joy" of commuting (and all the time and money that involves.)

Boston and the surrounding suburbs suffer from decrepit infrastructure as the region continues its long spiral downwards into irrelevance, so the general rules are a bit more complex here.

My personal view is that you should be careful of mixing the disadvantages of the city with the disadvantages of the suburbs. If you choose to live in the suburbs, then take full advantage of the space available and build a dedicated listening room to your specifications.

Why compromise?
