Forceholy posted:With the rising tide of minorities and lower income people moving out into the suburbs, I don't see your average middle class WASP family moving next to "those people". It's already happening. I can't find any good non-paywalled articles, but the trend of millennials moving out of cities more slowly than previous generations is already starting to reverse. It's looking like what people were interpreting as a cultural shift was more of an economic trend, and now wealthier (or at least more credit-worthy) millennials are starting to head back into the suburbs. Wealthy people are still flocking to cities, but that's not new.

There's a fun combination housing/retail complex that's currently in the planning phases in my city. High-end apartments joined up with high-end retail space in a walkable, but more or less entirely self-contained area. The intention is for it to provide housing and services primarily for workers in the large corporate parks that are adjacent to the area that it's being built in.

Badger of Basra posted:The headline finding going around a lot of places is that Suburbs Are Back but if you read the commentary piece about it's a little different. To be fair, suburbs never went anywhere. A lot of the data over the last few years that gets trotted out to show the death of suburbs was either misunderstood or mischaracterized to make for better headlines. Here's a 538 article about it from last year. Basically, suburbs are still more popular places to live than cities and suburbs and small towns are still where most Americans live, the gap just isn't as wide as it used to be.
