What The Census Tells Us About America’s Future

New Geography reports:
the Obama administration might want to rethink its high-density and urban-oriented strategy. Despite all the media focus on an imagined “back to the city” movement, Americans continue to disperse to “opportunity regions” and toward the suburbs. As a result, expect generally conservative-leaning suburbs and exurbs to gain more power after reapportionment and core city influence to decline further.
Another great one from Joel Kotkin.The reality is quite different from the fantasy.
