Didn't say that. I said that lure of the suburbs is waning. Skyrocketing costs in cities are a symptom of that and the Vox article concedes as much.

- majormajor 9y agoYou said "there is in fact a big migration back into the cities" and that's the part that the numbers disagree with. Instead, there has been a slowdown in the continuing move to the suburbs. And a suburb-centered population is one that still won't move so quickly on transit and the like, at a state and national level.
- abalone 9y agoNo, population growth in the burbs alone does not disprove migration into the cities. As I said, skyrocketing costs in the cities are evidence of this. With respect to city transportation infrastructure, wealthier people moving in and developers building up capacity are significant forces in affecting policy.
