"Washington, DC’s high growth rate could be emblematic of other cities

One area—not a state—which did well growth-wise in the last decade is Washington, D.C. The District registered an 14.6% growth rate from 2010 to 2020, far surpassing its 5.2% growth from 2000 to 2010, which had followed population losses in each of the previous five decades (Download Table B). Like other major cities, Washington, D.C. benefitted from early-decade gains as young-adult millennials flocked to cities due to stagnating post-Great Recession housing and labor markets in suburbs and smaller-sized places.

While it is true that early-decade gains in the District and other cities shrank as suburban growth picked up, those early growth levels propped up total decade growth for most cities.   When the 2020 census results are released for other cities later this year, it is likely that many of them will show improved growth for 2010 to 2020 compared with the previous decade, following Washington, D.C.’s pattern."[/quote]
LOL. Yes and enjoy.

I guarantee that in less than a decade all of this stuff will be ripped up for lack of use and for the DC government to promote itself as “business  friendly”.

I’m personally not a big fan of driving but at least I can recognize how important cars are to the economy.

Once electric cars become more common, the suburbs will have a clear structural advantage due to availability of garages.

You might not like it, but that’s denial for you. [/quote]
