    The same luxury apartment buildings, restaurants without plates with bearded chefs wearing black gloves, and quirky neighborhoods that up and coming.

    Every city in America looks exactly the same now
    Small American cities used the same playbook to attract big-city refugees: walkable downtowns, craft breweries, and cheap homes.

    Yeah, upscale shopping centers and malls look the same. The Domain in Austin looks like other cross residential shopping strips in OC.

    More and more of them are hoovered up and developed as "concepts" by the same mgmt group.

    Holy cringe Batman. I think most millennials want an affordable place to live with amenities. Big distinction between millennials with houses and those without.

    I sincerely expected this to be about Dallas.

    Mentioned once

    the New York Times recently reported about those leaving large metros, "what they left behind they can find in Charlotte, Denver, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, Dallas or Louisville."

    Which doesn’t really make sense since the DFW area has been a top 10 metro area in size for a long, long time.
