Listen "Parenting in the City"
Episode Synopsis
Karol Markowicz joins Kay Hymowitz to discuss raising young children in New York City.
“Raising a family in the city is just too hard,” concluded The Atlantic’s Derek Thompson last summer. But in Park Slope, one of New York’s most desirable neighborhoods, thousands of families thrive. Still, parents must navigate a host of challenges unique to urban life, including pricey housing, complex schooling options, and sometimes-unfriendly public spaces.
