the only thing is that i feel like these would all be downgrades (no offense to those who live/raised in these placs) but again, where DO you go after NYC?

Yes, with more money, you can play harder. I guess I always assumed that most 20 somethings would have some level of disposable income that makes living here reasonable.
I will not raise my children in NYC, unless I'm married to a very wealthy man. I believe in public schools as I went to them myself, but very few of the public schools will prepare the little Munchkins for the types of colleges that MY public school prepared me for. Also, those schools are extremely hard to get into.
A lot of people have left NYC for Philly and are very happy. I'm thinking Boston, Chicago, Austin, or San Francisco when it's time.
