I live right by Central Memorial and I see lots of (teenage) kids walking to and from school. I also see younger kids out and about. So clearly some people manage to live in the core and raise their kids, so telling people they "will" move to the suburbs when the time comes is not any kind of high ground from which to distribute sarcasm.
I think that there are good points to job the inner city and the suburbs. I have no doubt that in the near future I'll move from the suburbs to the core.

I quoted your post though because it highlights the ever-expanding definition of what the core is in an ever-expanding city. I don't know where exactly you live, but is Central Memorial really in the inner city? Seems pretty far out to me, but I have no idea where the inner city/outer city line is anymore!
