There's lazy ppl everywhere. I can see a generation making a living in a nice suburb house and their lazy ass kids not wanting to work as hard. So since they stay live there. They just stay there.
These neighborhoods are getting older and money is moving into cities. It's a natural progression. However, it is certainly generational. This country was built by immigrants who had the sack to travel thousands of miles to start a new life and their kids. Their great-grand-kids don't have that same vision.
No surprise really, with revitalization projects in most cities, some (particularly younger and/or childless) professionals wanting to live in new downtown lofts to avoid the commute, and the worst neighborhoods and housing projects gradually being torn down. Usually the poverty moves outward in a ring, to suburbs and neighborhoods that were once considered a good address. The outer suburbs are still nice, though a few people may qualify for "poverty" due to job loss and debt. Most people who want to own a home with a yard are moving to the outer areas, neighborhoods of cookie-cutter houses that are new and will hopefully not give them a lot of maintenance issues. As older houses fall into disrepair, become rented out, poorer people are able to afford them, the neighbors start cooking meth, etc., of course they're not going to be as nice as they used to be.
Microwavescientist was my favorite poster. Came into an anti-microwave thread b**** slapping folks from a google-alert then 3 posts later was gone forever.
They'll get me out of the suburbs when they pry my cold, dead hands off my community swimming pool key.
It's cheaper to live in the Suburbs and they have nothing but McDonald's, Freebird's, Walmart, Burger King, Joes Crab Shack, etc... poor people jobs. Makes sense to me. Take the poors and the families out to the suburbs and let me live in peace.
The fact that "teh poors" are no longer as able to afford property in urban / inner loop / downtown areas as they once were is a large factor in these statistics... but that doesn't support da-rhetoric as readily... "Living far from me and needing a car to get around makes you poor and unhealthy!"

You can't have much vision when you're only being shown the same slideshow over and over again. These are different times.. the best still do well but avg ppl and their jobs aren't "visionary" now like those same ppl were two generations ago
