[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But part of the minority migration is economic. It is cheaper to live in the suburbs. You can already see the demographic (by economics) shift of middle and lower middle class residents to places like Damasus, Olney, Dale City etc. Over time, the people who are living "out there" will be living in houses that were not designed or built with materials that will last more than 20-30 years. So what happens? You have a massive degradation of housing quality with people who generally will not be able to renovate/rebuild.

So the title of the thread is correct, millennials will not want to buy ugly, shoddily built McMansions.[/quote]

It's amusing that you'd cite "Damascus, Olney, Dale City" in your post, because the obvious shift of middle and lower middle class county has been to an entire county - Prince Georges (none of whose communities you mentioned). I wonder why?  Is it tacky for a white city-lover to celebrate the displacement of black Washingtonians to the DC-area equivalent of the Parisian banlieues.

As for the housing stock in the other suburbs, it's misleading to claim that they were designed with such planned obsolescence in mind, and who is to say that their residents, regardless of their incomes, would not attempt to renovate or maintain their homes?

The snotty urban crowd, whether Millennials or not, really are scum.  [/quote]
