Selecting a Neighborhood to Live In
Leona: I want to live close to downtown. We can get everywhere on foot and walk to most amenities 1.
Jeremy: Downtown is always bustling 2 and noisy, and the crime rate is really high. I’d rather have proximity 3 to parks and open spaces.
Leona: If we lived downtown, we wouldn’t have to worry about commute 4 time and traffic. I could walk to work and you could take public transportation.
Jeremy: That’s true, but there aren’t any good schools near downtown.
Leona: Hello, we don’t have any kids.
Jeremy: Not yet. I want to settle down somewhere for a while, not move every couple of years.
Leona: Is that why you want to live in the suburbs? The suburbs have no character. Everything is cookie- cutter.
Jeremy: That’s not true.
Leona: Downtown has character and it’s close to nightlife.
Jeremy: That’s less important to me than a place in a quiet neighborhood. Imagine lounging in the backyard or taking a walk in the park. We can raise our kids in a close-knit community.
Leona: I think you’re planning for a family that we don’t have.
Jeremy: Yet!
