Comedian, native New Yorker, and stealth pregnant Ginny Hogan joins Emi and Ren to discuss: Where should we raise our kids! 

Whether Manhattan, Greenwich, Connecticut and Forest Hills, Queens — we’re here to talk suburban vs. city living, renting vs. buying, public vs. private school. 


00:27 Choices, Choices - Where Should We Live?

01:00 Welcome to the pod, Ginny Hogan

01:12 Manhattan vs Greenwich, CT vs Forest Hills, Queens

02:09 Suburbs/City Living - Which is better?

04:11 What is it like raising kids in the city with no car? What’s it like raising kids in the suburbs with no sidewalk! 

10:19 Private schools, public schools, specialized schools - our babies aren’t even one and we’re thinking about this. 

16:50 Housing options - renting vs buying. Buying isn’t all it’s cracked up to be — but Ren has to go to the mall to charge her car.
