People are opting out of suburbia in growing numbers every day - and many of the are paying high dollar amounts to do it.

A significant part of this is due to the recession and the fact that younger persons are tending to do more rental than ownership because of poor job prospects. They are delaying marrying and having families, and moving to the burbs. Many economists believe this we are seeing a significant part of this as a short term trend.

I don't care for JTF's poetic waxings but its a stretch to say these things are short term. The increasing age of marriage and the declining birth rate have been occurring for 30+ years now.

You must be very young, have never traveled or know little urban history. There have been many livable cities in the US for many years.
