Reply #17: and ''immigrants'' will also leave the big city. [View All]

cities are creatures of flux -- and their demographics change over time.

lately it's because we have lost the ''old neighborhoods'' -- which vastly changes a city from something more individual in terms of experience -- to something more homogenous.

many people who initially move to a city like sf or new york or what ever -- come looking for that alternative bohemian experience -- which is still there -- more tightly controlled by the increased cost of everything.

thus it goes with cities -- ''imigrants'' will soon follow to kansas city and durham, etc -- because they will look for the same things we all look for -- whatever that is.
