I often hear people say they want to move out of the city to raise kids.

But ironically the best place I can think of for my future kids to grow up would be Manhattan. That’s what I would have wanted for myself if I had known it was an option.

I thought the same. But as I was raising my kids in the city I found that many things were driving them toward a sedentary and unhealthy lifestyle. They didn’t roam the city freely as I did. Their default was indoors and online. We moved to a small town in the mountains and now outdoor activity is the default.
