<p>MichaelsMother, people don’t just want to move out of Manhattan. Manhattan (and New York City) is a great city; New Yorkers – especially the lifers – love it and are especially attached to it. Many people who are used to city life don’t want to run to the suburbs, especially if they have good jobs in the city. And with the economy the way it is, it would be hard for even affluent parents to just pick up and move from Manhattan/New York to Amherst and find jobs for both parents. And a lot of parents aren’t willing to do the “you live here and I’ll live 3 hours away from you” thing.</p>
