Seattle also has very, very mild weather. go look at the Midwest. Chicago, Minneapolis, Cleveland, etc. places that have hard freezes, frost heaves, and road salt. when I lived in WI, they had crews to fill potholes with 'hot patch' and after a few years, it's more patch' than concrete
- bcrosby95 7y agoOk. So does that mean suburbs with mild weather are fine, but those without are screwed? Are suburbs sustainable in California but not Cleveland? This doesn't appear to be the message of Strongtowns.
- lotsofpulp 7y agoAll else being equal, I would bet on people migrating from places with less desirable weather to more desirable weather. More importantly, people with disposal income who can afford to migrate will migrate.
