I think we're going to see rich people in the cities while poorer people will be forced out to the suburbs

Detroit and parts of California. The rich Democrats will live in urban cities, while the Republicans live in suburbs, exurbs and rural areas. Cities will become a two class society for the rich and poor, no middle class.

Default which one?

In a general way, a city that is mostly Single Family Homes/with yards. The handful of exceptions are exceptions, and keep coming up in lists of the most urban cities.

I think the next big change for the average city is the addition of faux urban or pseudo-urban development. Basically squeezing suburban like forms into quasi urban shells, to create hybrids.

I expect the suburbs to remain largely, if not entirely, suburban. With NIMBY-ism blocking attempts to "repair" or urbanize the suburbs. I expect that the suburbs will remain the largest component of a metropolitan area in terms of land area and population.

I would say Portland, Seattle, Austin, Denver, and San Francisco. These are the top cities loved by Millennials and they are the future of this country.

I would add Dallas. Despite the lack of publicity, it has been and continues to be one of the hottest real estate markets, up there with the ones you listed.

And what would this be exactly? Townhouses? Row houses?

You can buy a 7,000 square foot home for less than 700k in Detroit. Not entirely sure about that as the home would easily be a minimum of a million dollars anywhere else in this country. Hopefully revitalization is happening in Detroit, the city deserves and needs it, but it's going to happen slowly. Unless Detroit becomes the next Portland or Austin.

Discussion of general topic….

Invasion of the faux cities - Salon.com

One example I have across mention of…..


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santana_Row

The salon article had an interesting comment about "starter cities" in the suburbs.

People are more cautious now, and I believe this will curb exurban growth.
Pittsburgh became one of those trendy cities in the late 00s. Crime, high cost of living, etc. is pushing people out to the burbs. The fastest growing counties in Western PA are those outside of Allegheny County. The fastest growing county for years has been the Republican stronghold.

I have seen a million people on here looking for a low cost liberal city. It doesn't and won't ever exist.
