This is an interesting analysis defending suburbs against elite critics.

They didn’t really write “dirth” did they?

Are you sure the headline didn't read "Birth Dearth?"

One thing that is curious, there are colleges in Long Island and Suffolk county. So, while 18-24 year olds might be leaving the area to attend college elsewhere, are the colleges that are in the area surveyed empty? Are they counting incoming 18-24 year olds going to college there?

Young adults are moving away from the region in large numbers due to the high cost of living, particularly housing prices. So, the story goes, the suburban pattern must be broken, and small, high density housing units must replace detached, single-family homes as the dominant urban form if young adults are to be retained.

They should try to get people to stay there -- like LOWERING TAXES. But these idoits want to say that doing away with single family homes would make people love it. I don't buy it.
