[quote=spdrun]I disagree … look how many people lived in San Francisco proper and commuted to tech jobs in the suburbs south of the city. Remember the furor over tech buses? People who live in cities, want to live in cities for the most part.[/quote]
My son lives in SF and just quit his job to move his family out of the bay area. !!!
He is braver than I.
I think a major contributor to this new direction in his life – and I suspect in many 20- and 30-somethings – is the desire to start a family, have a private back yard no shared walls. He used to dismiss those things when I mentioned them to him before, but now he salivates when he talks about friends who have them.
He’s also shopping for a minivan. Minivan! Never even been on his radar before.
Time they are a’changin my friend.
Cities aren’t going to die – they’ll just thin out a bit. With or without COVID.
