Yes, I loved that line as well.

Was also nodding along to the part about the buying any affordable home vs. valuing where it's located. This hit home. We live in a smaller city in the midwest, but even still we would not have been able to afford the actual locations we wanted (for context: three kids 4 and under, one income). And the ones that were in our range would have needed thousand of dollars to even be livable.

The space in our little 1930/1940's neighborhood is nice, but I'd be lying if I said it's the *ideal* place. Cultivating ties, relationships, doing anything without buckling up the kids is such a slog. I'd take a more urban environment any day if it was in the budget.

Great piece!
