I don&#x27;t think the suburbs are killable. If there was a mass migration towards city centers, then rents would get even higher than they are now, the prices of homes in the &#x27;burbs would fall. The suburbs wouldn&#x27;t die, they would just be filled with people that can&#x27;t afford to live close in.<p>I don&#x27;t really see a big tension between city and suburb dwellers. I think they mostly just look for different things in their lives. At least for me, I live in the suburbs because I enjoy it more, not because there&#x27;s any big problem with the city. I like having a big garden, I like having a couple of chickens, I like space between me an my neighbors (even though I get along great with them), and I like living close to work. A few years ago, we built an outdoor kitchen and there&#x27;s pretty much nothing I enjoy more than sitting back there at the start and end of my day. This year my wife is building me a workshop behind our house that I&#x27;m excited about.<p>If I lived in the city, my life would be different, not necessarily worse.
