I think it will eventually, at least. Even if there isn’t a mass movement towards living in job centers, one would think there would be at least a trickle in that direction. I’ve never personally felt that commuting 40 miles or more to work was reasonable, even when gas cost less, due to the drain on my time. With gas costing as much as it does now, it makes even less sense. Living in a tiny condo in a walkable community close to work is my ultimate fantasy!
It seems like it takes a certain amount of time for various notions to catch on in the general population. I wonder how long it will take for this to catch on? There have been articles in the MSM about the unsustainability of the suburbs–maybe it will catch on sooner rather than later?
