The article discusses how city environments can be conducive to raising families, challenging the traditional notion of suburban idealism. Grace Morgan Berryman, a mother living in New York City, argues that city life offers rich experiences and a supportive community for her family, despite living in a smaller space. She advocates for the positive aspects of urban family life, citing the advantages of access to museums, parks, and public schools. Berryman's perspective, along with supportive comments from other city-dwelling parents, promotes the idea that cities can be valid and vibrant spaces for family life.
"I am getting pretty tired of all of these people saying that you can't raise a family in the city," said Grace Morgan Berryman, who lives in New York City with her family.
"The city is also great, and just because you don't want to raise your family in the city, that's fine; but I'm here to tell you, we like it."
"What we lack in space, we make up for in experiences - by high school, I really wished my hometown had more to offer in terms of art and community."
"We're in the New York City public schools. We love them; our kids are thriving. We're near museums and parks and our community, and we love it."
