8. the end of suburbia is going on right now
right now, the highest demand is in cities, look at NY and DC for example or in new Neo-traditional urbanist neighborhoods being constructed as an alternate to the suburban style. They are much denser and are constructed for walking. Anti-Big Box retailing is another feature of this movement.

The demand for inner city homes in good neighborhoods is causing Real Estate madness. A small colonial in DC goes for over 1 million. A Row House built for blue collar factory workers in 1920 in Baltimore's Canton neighborhood can get 500,000-1,000,000$

Try to find a cheap apartment in NYC.
