- Hang in there - it's all worth it! I felt the same as your wife many times, but I'm so glad I could stay home with our children.Those years pass so quickly and can never be replaced. It...
- Thanks for all the new comments! One quick point: I did say "First of all, I know there are single mothers and poorer families who have no choice!" I know that there are people who have...
- @Altair33: It probably seemed that since I lumped that in with other negatives I meant it was a negative, too. It wasn't - it simply changed the game a lot. In the short term it was great, and...

I'm just not sure I buy the "exurbs are going to die" theory. People live where they live for a variety of reasons (family, schools, housing affordability, yes, even jobs; contrary to popular belief, there are many, many jobs outside of the central city), and I'm not sure the doubling of gas prices are going to make many move. There are many factors of life with more elasticity than where we have planted roots. I see more gas-efficient cars, carpooling, and telecommuting coming before I see a mass exodus from the exurbs. This opinion comes from someone who works primarily from home, incidentally.
An interesting story from the days of cheap transportation: In the 1980s, the now-defunct Digital Equipment Corporation had about two dozen facilities scattered about a three-state area in New England. To facilitate employees traveling between facilities, they had a helicopter fleet dubbed Air Digital, which even had its own gate at Logan Airport. At its height, Air Digital was the ninth-largest airline in the US in terms of flight operations. Those were the days, weren't they?
