[quote=Anonymous][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]

People in second tier cities all drive to work from the ‘burbs.  They drive everywhere because very few live downtown.[/quote]
This seems like a bit of an oversimplification. I’ve lived in Philadelphia and Chicago and I consider them second tier and both were very walkable. Philly might actually be more walkable than dc. [/quote]

DP: I think that if Richmond is being called second-tier, Chicago and Philly are first tier.  (Either that or Richmond is actually third tier and was miscategorized from the start).[/quote]

Philadelphia maybe walkable but the upkeep of pedestrian walkaways is laughable. I don't even know if you can consider it still walkable with the potholes, stagnant water, tripping hazards, chunks of broken off pavement all over. Don't get me started on the Jack the Ripper alleys in the city of Brotherly Love either.[/quote]
