Unless this Bohemian class anticipates living with roommates through old age, living in Brooklyn is considerably more expensive than living in suburbia.[1] Perhaps the economist meant Detroit.

These issues are the outcomes and culmination of corrupt and pernicious actions taken a long time ago in the USA. If you look at Europe and other places around the world, there are sufficient models to emulate to solve these problems; but the corrupt master class has no interest in solving the "problems" that serve their interests and they have no interest in letting us, as a people, realize that we are not exceptional and therefore could learn by looking outside of our own culture and borders. What America doesn't realize, even the supposed most intelligent and informed, is that we are no different than any other people living under a controlling regime, we just have more resources to burn that allow the margins for error to be humongous compared to other places. The controlled media, corrupt politics, the rationalized abuse of laws you are destroyed for not abiding by, the propaganda, the war mongering, the racist subjugation of certain groups. It's all there, we just don't see it, as a people, because as with the same form of national socialism that destroyed Germany in the early 20th century, the American version of national socialism has brain-washed people into doing, thinking, and saying things to and about others that they would never want happen to themselves.

I think they meant Brooklyn-like environments, not literally Brooklyn, NYC. There are plenty of them in semi-gentrified urban cores around the USA and Canada, but not enough to house the predicted boom of semi-employed bohemian upper-lower-middle-class.
