Long Term Somerville?

[amy-s1.livejournal.com]

Just curious as to how many of our community members here consider themselves residents of Somerville long term, or temporarily as in "when I have kids i'll move to the burbs" mentality.

Do you see yourself here as a long term, or potentially permanent resident?

Do you have kids here already? Are they in the Somerville Schools? If no kids would you raise kids here?

Do you own property or are you renting? If renting would you like to buy?

We moved to Revere in August from Davis Square, because we were able to rent an entire 2 bedroom house here for $1,000 a month. We decided that we'd do this for a couple of years to save a bunch of money for a down payment on a house or condo in Somerville, which is where we want to be in the long run.

Now we're expecting, and are trying to figure out what this will change about our time frame. We still intend to move back to Somerville as our forever home, but I hear babies are super expensive!
