I’m not tied to “the city”. In fact, I rather loathe SF and NYC (just finished a 3 year stint in SF).
I’m just anti-suburbs.
I’m pro-livable smaller cities like Philly, Austin, Denver, Nashville, Portland, Pittsburgh, etc.
I’m extremely bullish on even smaller cities as the next wave, but that’s a separate story.
- dajohnson89 7y agocould you elaborate on the smaller cities theory?
- ericd 7y agoKnow any good very walkable (with mixed zoning a la French towns) small cities with reasonable tech scenes in the US and good schools?
- atwebb 7y agoI'm from one of those smaller cities. It is not a liveable city without the suburbs for most families, soon it really won't be without generational wealth. A majority of the millennial families are moving to the suburbs (or forced their by increased prices). The downtown areas are heavily skewed towards tourists or the childless/single similar to my previous post. I'm bullish on them too but, then again, there's a financial interest in my having that stance. EDIT: I'm curious what you think is a reasonable salary to live in the downtown/midtown areas of the smaller liveable cities.
