Completely gets cause and effect backwards.
Talk to literally anyone who's ever been young. You DECIDE to have kids, THEN you move to the suburbs. You don't move to the suburbs and then suddenly feel like having kids.
- glimshe 2y agoI moved to the suburbs with the intention of having kids right after moving (and we did have one 1 year after moving). I suppose that I was young at one point in my life.

- nh23423fefe 2y agoBut thats not what the tweet says. Building more city housing at higher density will draw young people into cities. High density causes low fertility. Low cost in cities doesn't promote births in cities, which is what the tweet is arguing. That fertility isn't low because of high cost.
