Suburbs are where the common citizenry beat a strategic retreat - the war for the cores of our major cities was lost long ago to the allied forces of the ultra rich and homeless drug users. I don't even think the war analogy is sensational...we were literally pushed out of our own inner cities by an invading army. Short of nuclear war, I don't see the number of homeless drug users ever declining in major US cities, ever. There are more today than last month. There will be more next year than today. We lost, they won. But we have to live somewhere. Soon the best suburbs will be gated if not already....gated communities don't have homeless drug users. In the next ten years I predict there will be a membership-only suburb with a population over 100k.
