You were just talking about decay right after development. I was just saying they built it [[applies to Troy too) expecting that the suburbs will continue to be the dominant models of the future.

Of course. You'd be hard-pressed to find a neighborhood that was originally planned for obsolesce in a few decades. Even the homes in Brightmoor last a very long time if properly maintained.

Most assume the trend of the moment is the wave of the future. That's the problem.

True. It will be interesting to see what the metro area will look like in 30 years.
