CITIES WERE A MISTAKE:
Suburbs Outstrip Cities in Population Growth, Study Finds (LAURA KUSISTO, Dec. 3, 2016, WSJ)
[R]esearch shows that suburbs are continuing to outstrip downtowns in overall population growth, diversity and even younger residents.The suburban areas surrounding the 50 largest metropolitan areas make up 79% of the population of those areas but accounted for 91% of population growth over the past 15 years, according to the study. What's more, three-quarters of people age 25 to 34 in these metro areas live in suburbs.
