Highly recommend moving out of the city. Especially if you have kids. Moved out of the city 15 months ago and now my kids get to play and walk in nature instead of a jungle of concrete and steel. We hear birds and trees rustling in the breeze instead of cars and construction site noise.
And the biggest plus, I don't spend 3 hours a day in horrible traffic trying to navigate the city and construction and accidents etc. I usually walk to local shops to pick up the small things we need and my wife drives to the grocery store (5 minutes drive) once a week to pick up food for the week. My son takes Taekwondo lessons (only 15 minutes drive) and my daughter takes gymnastics and dance lessons (only 10 minutes drive). Otherwise we only drive when we have to travel back to the city for something.
