[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh they will, just not yet. Still too young.[/quote] This - obviously - once they stop taking pictures of their food, have a kid and find it harder to go to Iceland for the weekend, they will want what everyone wants. Space and easy access (by car) to the things they need. Walking to meet friends for sushi will be replace by putting the sleeping baby in the car seat and finding a drive through Starbucks. Matter of time. I am perfectly happy in my house for the next 20 years - I can wait. [/quote] 36 year old Millennial here. I don't want your McMansion. Not eve a little. I don't want poor design, crap materials, [b]a probable long commute, suburbs with amenities only accessible by driving, [/b]or the more conservative politics. I'd like more space for my three (already existing) kids, but I'm not buying a trailer on steroids to satisfy that desire, especially when I'm 56. Also, I cook 90% of our meals at home. I've taken zero pictures of them.[/quote] This. Another millennial. [b]I don't want to spend hours a week in my car. It's already challenging to juggle kids and a job without sitting in traffic for two hours a day[/b]. It's also hard to stay in shape and sitting in an office and then a car doesn't help. I couldn't care less about walking to get sushi. I don't want a lengthy commute and many others don't as well. [/quote] This. Almost millennial here (37). No interest in a long, sedentary commute, a lack of diversity, and the conservative politics that characterized our neighborhood when we briefly lived further out. We ended up buying a SFH in upper NW, which also allowed us more job options--we can have comfortable reverse commutes to MD, or a shorter commute downtown, where I now work. Lots of older millennial families starting to move to our current neighborhood.[/quote] I can't think of a less diverse, monolithic place than Upper NW. Almost all white, almost all Democratic and all very liberal - as long as they can stay zoned for Wilson or get into a snooty private. No thanks.[/quote]
