15. Depends on the area --
Many of the new families in the newer exurban areas are young families -- and they tend to be GenXers.

What we find is that these people move into exurbia -- and then want all the suburban convinces they left behind. They want the developments that they moved into -- but they don't want any other land cut up and developed. They want to keep the "rural" charm -- and the suburban developments are given charming rural names -- Quail Hollow -- for example. These are condos and small homes placed close together with a few random "open" areas.

Land planners are going to have to come up with a name for the transition places -- between exurban and suburban. Green Acres (old TV program) perhaps?

But this is a blue state -- with very few bush/cheney bumper stickers this year.
