The Illuminati, or whoever you thinks runs the world, is not going to spend millions of dollars building highrises unless they think that people will want to live in them.

If the Illuminati is really running the world, then why did they allow forced busing to happen? That was the biggest incentive for getting the middle class to move out of city centers in order so they could send their kids to neighborhood schools.

If some people are moving back toward city centers because the traffic is getting horrible or because they prefer a more urban lifestyle, and investors are willing to meet the demand by building highrises then so be it.

Obviously there are Demand pressures which have caused a Supply of high rise condo towers in urban areas.

However, there are powers at work here that are far beyond Free Market factors.

For example, it is not uncommon for the developers of these condo towers to receive tax abatements from local governments. It is also not uncommon for HUD and other federal agencies to aid in the financing of these liberal urban condo towers.

It is extremely common to see cites invest transportation funds into public transit and urban roads and bicycle lanes and ignore the funding for expressways to and from central business districts and the suburbs.

And now they are even building HUD housing projects out in the suburbs not far from suburban schools, parks, Christian churches, Bed Bath and Beyond, Applebees, Chucky E Cheese and even fine department stores.
