Why Are America’s Three Biggest Metros Shrinking?
Cause major metros are expensive as hell, they usually soft-ban children and parenting, they are openly hostile to quick&#x2F;reliable transportation, and generally depend on lots of labour from other slightly-poorer non-local people to remain viable.<p>If you carefully curate your life in such a way as to have very few responsibilities or needs, city living can be a lot of fun. I get why people like it, I liked it too. And if you are wealthy, you can buy your way out of a most of these problems.<p>But for regular, average people, making regular average wages, city living is mostly just a long list of painful drawbacks, and most regular people couldn&#x27;t afford it even if they were willing to put up with all of that.
