[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one wants to pay 800k for a townhouse where your packages will get stolen[/quote]

My packages aren’t stolen.  BUT even if they were, I’d choose that over a one hour commute via car.  So would most millennials.  [/quote]

Most “second” and “third” tier cities do not come with a one hour commute by car. People in Richmond walk to work. Those cities are less crowded so commute times are null.[/quote]

I can’t (job here) and don’t want to move to Richmond.  I also find it hard to believe that many people in Richmond walk to work.  [/quote]

I also call BS on that. My husband and I actually toured a bunch of second tier cities (Richmond, Pittsburgh, Durham) with the thinking that we may be able to "have it all" there -- ALL of those place were driving places. Our life now is walkable/bikable (in Shaw). I also found the energy level really different -- every time i go to a playground of cafe I end up meeting someone super interesting here with ideas and inspiration. The second tier cities felt a lot sleepier to me.[/quote]

The Fan is basically Shaw without all the crime.[/quote]

That's interesting to hear, maybe we will give it another chance in a few years.... I do think for people who don't mind driving a little bit, life in those cities can be great -- i have many friends who moved to Atlanta/Pittsburgh/Austin/Portland from bigger cities and they are all very happy. They drive everywhere, but have a great quality of life.[/quote]
