HI Doug,

I guess I'm just a dumb country boy.

My nephew (a millennial) who loved the urban scene of downtown Chicago,lived in a small condo (bought by his parents) didn't own a car. Seemed like he was never going to grow up.

At the age of 30 gets married to a very solid women. Both have degrees and good jobs. Get married (two years ago)and have a young baby just in the last several months (making big moves at a fast rate). Within the last two years,they move to the suburbs and have a child (don't want to have their child go to school in those "ECO SMART" city schools.

Don't want their child to be playing in downtown urban streets where all the "ECOSMART" homeless people sleep out in clear sight.

Next the carbon credit apartments will require green energy purchases(there goes the budget) "honey have you seen the Electricity Bill?".

Actually all this hokey pokey green BS makes the words SMARTECOCITY look more like an oxymoron to me.

My young nephew surely blew out of the city, once the deferred normal buying habits of the millennials finally realize too they have hormonal urges and a time clock ticking away inside them - even though they ignored all of the above as long as they possibly could.

I think the SMART ECO city exodus has already begun.

Hollowed out expensive places where bad decision are accelerating the exodus of the middle class from the urban experience.

Mind boggling how these millennials want to move out in the country - a place where all that nasty methane gas from those flatulent cows is.

Last time I went out to my back door and smelled the fresh outdoor air - I did not detect even a tiny bit of flatulence in the air <smile>.

There sure are a lot of misinformed SMARTECOCITY ideas going on out there. It's really sad that a lot of those facts isn't so. But it is so cool to group think your false beliefs.

Bob
