I take what he says with a grain of salt as he can comes off as a professional troll given he claims to be a black gay person from Jackson Heights with two ivy leagues degress, jewish ancestry that accumulated resources to pay for his college tuition, and a libertarian.
Maybe that's the way how you would want to raise your kid, but it doesn't mean others should have the same standard as you do. I can understand where you come from, but I don't think you should judge others base on how they raise their kid.

There's a million reasons, some are just starting off their careers let's say like an Investment banker putting in like 80+ hours a week at the office, they can't commute longer than 25mins. Some people don't care about trees, they can afford their summer/weekend homes in the Hamptons/Poconos. Some eventually give in once the kids are ready to go to school and their careers are a bit more stable.
They likely have an amazing view from their hi-rise apartment and their friends who live in the city. They enjoy a good commute to work, short uber ride to many restaurants, but once they have their second or third kid — then it’s time to move to the ‘burbs
Who is “we” and who lives down in TriBeCa and has a “25 minute commute”? Where do you work, Brooklyn?
"We" are the people with children who choose to live in Manhattan that the OP asked about. We are the ones who prefer the city over Connecticut. We are the ones for whom museums and delivery Malaysian food and mass transit are worth far more than a yard and an oversized house.
Most people I know have very short commutes or simply walk to work. My husband works in east midtown and it takes him 25 minutes to get to work. Our children attend a fantastic public school and the nearest neighborhood with anything comparable would require an hour-long commute.
I think if you don't have kids in the city you don't understand how wonderful it is. There is so much to see and do and it is so easy to combine errands with fun outings. Kids do get to run outside and be unsupervised, they just do it in parks. Living downtown is the best mix of tight-knit community and vibrant city life that I can imagine. To me that is so much more valuable than square footage.
You and the OP are likely jealous. Of course all you can do is accuse the rich of being bad parents. A CEO or top executive likes spending g a lot of fine close to where they work and a daily commute is not necessarily desirable.
These people who have other homes in the suburbs or in the country they spend tine in, so at that level of wealth of course their kids have lived out of the city.
LOLOLOL!
You poor thing. Sane and rational ppl don’t get “jealous” over some decision a faceless, anonymous C-D poster does with his/her life. I couldn’t beginnnnn to care less.
I don’t even have kids, lol. Why would you take this so personally?
I recommend you refrain from skipping your 25mg daily dose from here on out babycakes.
I work down in TriBeCa and have wondered this over the past few years.
These parents (or their nannies) roll up to $50,000 a year pre schools in their $2,000 strollers every day, sipping their latte (if they are the mom) or just dropping off (if they are a nanny). But really, why the hell would you want your kid to grow up in Manhattan, especially downtown where you hardly have trees, if you have the means to raise your kids in a place like Connecticut?
Kids need to be able to go outside (on their own) to have some fun with some friends.
Why do you do it? And don’t give me that “for the culture” crap. You don’t get cultured going to school with other rich kids in a selective (how much can you pay) pre school...
You won’t find the right answer on CD.
Most posters are searching for affordable housing, not making a million a year to afford nannies and TriBeCa pricing
All I can say is that I wish I had stuff to do after school growing up. I spent my high school years playing video games, hacking college networks, and trying to graduate early in a school district that wouldn't let me. All the parties were nothing but jochs and wannabe druggies getting high everyday. I didn't even go to prom. Suburbs suck.
I do understand the cost differential though.
