Interesting read. And particularly interesting in light of the many articles in recent years predicting exactly the opposite, that there would be a migration toward city centers in America and away from this style of living.

"Some cities will continue to grow, but migration out of cities will surge, particularly to exurbs 50 miles or more from a city centers—giving rise to new micro economies where people live, work and play. By 2025, the U.S. exurban population could outstrip the urban center population. This migration already has begun: Six million Americans moved out of city centers in the past decade, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. Although some center-city population levels have held steady or even risen, their share of the population has been dropping since 1990, while the exurbs' share has been rising. ...

Bain analysis shows movement to the U.S. exurbs in the next 10 years could match Americans exodus to the suburbs in the 1950s and 1960s, which reached an annual peak of 8% of the population."
