The culture of the city around here doesn't matter if you have kids, because the nearest decent schools are well out into suburbia. The city's for poor people, recent college grads there for "the culture" (dating scene), and rich people with kids who can afford private school plus paying 4x-6x as much to live in the city rather than 20min away.

Don't you think it's worth taking a step back when you insist that culture doesn't matter?

No? If walking-distance-to-culture comes with a side of dangerous, failing schools then of course it doesn't matter compared with avoiding that. Driving-distance-to-culture will have to do.
