This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I think it depends on what you want by ravenium

We moved out of the city and to a transit-oriented development in the burbs a couple years ago so we could take advantage of mass transit and walk to restaurants/bars but still be able to have a yard and a garage.

If you're looking to be close to cultural events (say opera/symphony/plays) and museums, there's not a lot of alternative than living in a city. You could still do transit though.

This is a matter of personal opinion but I wouldn't think of your choice as "investing" - where do you want to *live* your everyday? Sunday grocery runs become as important as the latest restaurant.

It always seems cities go through a cycle every 50 years or so with good and bad times. It's hard to say the outcome that increased work from home will have on large commercial regions, but I think things eventually balance out.
