[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are going to dispute objective data, because at the end of the day they like living in cities that have become playgrounds for single white adults, rather than cities that have playgrounds for kids of all backgrounds.[/quote]

I would not object to the data, but I think there is a major logical flaw. Birth rate has steadily declined in the US over the past 10 or so years, this isn't a cities phenomenon. I would like to see a comparison on how cities are fairing relative to rural areas, today vs. in the past.[/quote]

Rural areas are very aged. Almost exclusively the elderly at this point. It’s a huge problem because rural areas are underserved by hospitals, police and fire, utilities ... but I think the article made the point that a few generations ago, many families lived in cities. Now many families live in suburbs, and not just the suburbs of the major cities - they’re completely moving to cheaper suburbs of cheaper cities. That’s why the South keeps growing in population.
