That assumes that houses and apartments get worse the further away/cheaper they get from dense city centers. That’s evidently not true—just drive around suburbs

That assumes that houses and apartments get worse the further away/cheaper they get from dense city centers. That’s evidently not true—just drive around suburbs/spoke cities for a couple hours!
- nerdponx 7y agoAnecdotally: 1. Moving out of the city center under these conditions doesn't mean moving out of the city, it means moving into a low-rise apartment among urban sprawl that's underserved by transit and good quality food sources. 2. A long commute is a significant quality of life decrease.

- nerdponx 7y agoNo, it's evidence contrary to your implication that being forced to move out of a city center isn't a bad thing.
