Yeah, but you dont have to raise your 2.5 kids and a dog in a 1/4 acre white picket fence either. Perhaps not the ideal situation but if you make decent money there's no reason its not feasible - my uncle has 3 kids living in Manhattan.
Way to take it to extreme. No one said anything about being stereotypically suburban, just not cramped in a city. Sacrifices are made to live in the city and most choose not to make them. Of course you can do it, it's just that what most people want (grass, good schools, space) isn't within most budgets downtown.
edit: If people could afford the same lifestyle, I think most everyone would do it. If I could get a nice house downtown, with a yard and a 2 car garage in a nice, quiet neighborhood I'd do it in a heartbeat.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
