I’ve been waiting for real estate to implode. Starts in bad urban centers, but spreads everywhere: I think cities are done. Then the banks fold, then everything folds. The cause is different from 2008 but it might end up being worse over all.

Cities have been done since prior to WW2. They had a surge due to military needs during WW2 and the delay until the rest of the world recovered but they were done.

The "white flight" was inevitable; not because of the lie of racism but because companies had already left and cities were hostile to raising families.

Commuting was just a sick band-aid.

The takers in the cities, including government workers, cemented any future they had into a pile of debt that will never be paid back.
