They are comparing suburban areas that were higher in price compared to nearby urban areas a few years ago and are now lower. That those urban areas are gentrifying and becoming more expensive while the suburban areas are losing value is the entire point of the article, isn't it?And the author is correct and it's been made possible because today's younger generation is having kids later or not at all, and then having fewer kids. No kids makes city living much easier. And that seems to be the trend for the foreseeable future. Not that the suburbs will die out, but people will have a choice and even the suburban areas will become more dense and walkable. |
