So the crackhead that predicted "armageddon after y2k" (fta) says that suburbia is dead.
Maybe he needs to get out more. I certainly don't think that people are going to be moving to the inner cities or "main street america" any time soon.
If anything it will force businesses to move closer to their workforces, which is exactly what it happening here in Dallas. 20 years ago, everything was downtown. Now there are more and more businesses moving up to the 1st loop (635), the 2nd loop (Beltline), the 3rd loop (190) and even further north up to Friso and McKinney (121 area).
Look at 121 and the Tollway, Within 2 miles you've got EDS, JCPenney, Frito Lay, Countrywide, McAfee, Cadbury Schwepps, and a whole lot more. Some have been there for years, but Hall Office park at 121/Tollway is filling up as more and more companies move to where their workforce is.
- ardit33 19y agoyes, that is called sprawling. What happens if you live in the other side of the suburb? Now you have to drive twice the amount. When most businness are in a central downtown core, with high density (tall buildings), it creates critical mass for mass transit. Spreading out everywhere will be even worse.
