Do we really need to do this with each comment adding another rule and another reply from someone breaking it?
I live in Berlin with my wife and 2 kids (who were born lived their whole lives in Berlin). We all bike and take transit. Neither me nor my wife even have a driver's license. We're doing fine. We know plenty of other families with multiple kids in the same situation.
ok, if we’re hypothetically thinking of someone that wants to have lots of sex / kids, then yes! A larger home makes certain things _easier_ for sure. No denying that!
But it may not be much “better” long term because you’ll be buying mini van(s), paying for gas, car insurance, higher property taxes, etc. All that extra cost adds up and could easily be put toward upgrading to a larger apartment instead.
And remember, 3+ kids is FAR from the norm in 2025. It’s not 1970s…so this is a really pointless argument.
Large cities are OK if you have one kid. They completely break down once you have 2-3 kids.
