[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think a lot of folks don't quite understand the deep, deep distaste for suburban living that millennials have--as opposed to BabyBoomers/GenX. In my opinion, folks living in the suburbs are just as likely to be moving *into* the city in pursuit of good schools as city dwellers moving out. Especially if you live in Prince Georges or Montgomery County. Things are changing fast, and they're liable to change even faster over the next decade. [/quote]
There are plenty of us Gen Xers, in the city, too.  In my neighborhood, they call us aging hipsters (which is half right as applied to me).  [/quote]

GenXer too. I have always hated living in the burbs as have all my GenX friends. DH and I have always lived in walkable comunities. Not sure this is just a millennial thing.[/quote]

Absolutely not, but you can actually see the tastes shift as a share of the demographic cohort.  Gen Xers (like myself) were the leading edge of the trend moving back into the cities.  But the overwhelming majority of my high school class settled in places like Gaithersburg to raise families.  Since the Millennials are the "baby boom echo", their sheer numbers are going to dictate how the market proceeds in a way that's similar to the way the Baby Boomers distorted the market with their love of suburbia.
