Perhaps I missed it in the article, but by what objective measure are suburbs as a whole failing? The article just seems to be recounting a collection of horror stories. I’ve got family all over the country. From what I’ve seen, older inner ring blue collar suburbs that have experienced their own white flight have declined. However, the ones with high quality schools have thrived and it’s not uncommon to find situations where two identical houses are 50% apart in asking price because one is in the good school district and the other is in the bad district.
