And here I was just commenting on how huge population centers freak me out, and now there’s even more of you sons of bitches?! Half of you people weren’t here when I was born! Go home or something, get off my lawn.
Every once in awhile I see things about how people are fleeing the city or the state and im like. How are prices still going up when new and denser buildings keep on going up? Somehow everyone is leaving but we keep on filling the increasing supply of housing and its not like homelessness has gone down.
Well the country thing is a more recent phenomenon. I have been hearing about how everyone is leaving the state since the 80’s and it became a political bs talking point. We should be empty by now with the way they have talked over the decades.
I think people often get exhausted with cities at a certain age. I’m starting to want to sacrifice all that I like about the city over the crowdedness and general rudeness you observe while adjacent to so many people.
I have been pretty lucky with really great neighbors so my trend has been the opposite as I age. Like when I was in college I was sorta like. I could really live here if there was only jobs out here. Now its like man, I really like not needing to drive.

People are not leaving cities
oh yeah. every time I see that type of stuff I assume there is some bs around it. I’ll believe it when high rises start looking deserted like malls.
It’s both things. People like me are headed out to the country, most others are just piling up in the cities.

Yeah, eventually I’ll move out of the city too, but overall as you said the trend is more people moving to cities
I mean this is a little surprising given wfh thing. You would think the trend would be reveresed. Personally I like a metro system.

Some are leaving, but even more are arriving?
my guess is any year with a drop certain politicians play it up like its the apocalypse.
