> Living in the city with children can be very desirable. You may have a small (or no backyard), but the city is your playground. Public parks, pools, trails, and so much more.

Have you been to the cities lately? We just left Seattle; the public parks and trails were overrun with tents and needles. The school district is allowing homeless drug addicts to live on school property. The city council appears to have no interest in the quality of life of children and their families.

This sums up inner Portland as well. It wasn't the case before 2020, though. I like to think it's a temporary state of affairs. The things that make the city an attractive place for families are still there, structurally. They're just covered with a lot of garbage at the moment.
