"We've been losing Latinos and kids," he said. "So this increase in population is not due to immigration at all. It's due to millennials and jobs."

Nice! Although I wonder where LA ranks on the top cities millennials (I'm one) are moving to...I never thought LA would be a millennial heavy place, maybe in population but not percentage wise.

And it says that millennials are the ones pushing gentrification.

Yes, millenials prefer multi-use development and neighborhoods with cores. Less driving, more walking.

Thanks to us millennial educated and creative .. We don't like to drive and live a city lifestyle .


Hope we can take over the government and politics . It's time for old folks to get out of politics .


We can bring progressive change to California !!

I think it's more than millennials . Some people are city people even if they are older. Look at NYC plenty of older people living there too .

"Growing is the number of millennials," Myers says. "They're the ones forcing gentrification and they're the ones who want to live in apartments."

This is kind of silly as in places where land becomes so valuable living in an apartment often becomes the only option .
Think New York or San Francisco .
If people in New York or SF had the option of single family homes right in the city many would probably choose those too ..

Millennials are renting apartments because that's what most of them can afford ...
I don't think they desire to live in apartments if they could rent or buy a single family home .
It's just ridiculous.

It's like when they had all these articles saying millenials didn't have any desire to buy cars or homes during the recession . It was because many couldn't AFFORD it.

Millennials is definitely the new term for hipster and these article writers know people will read the article if it says millennial as its a hot search term .

Young people like living in cities ? Oh wow ! Really ?
I thought they desired to live in the country !

Your sarcasm is misplaced and contradictory. If you truly believe millennials would prefer single family homes (of which you offer no evidence, just an opinion), cities aren't where the majority of them are found.
