I don't expect the ex-urban trend to end any time soon. What I'm seeing is smaller satellite industrial centers. I live 30 miles from the city center in an area that is still considered rural and twenty years ago almost everyone worked and drove downtown, a large number of the businesses they worked for came to them and are situated 10 miles away in a city that is really just an industrial park with shopping and now some high end high density housing. The people from the city actually travel out there to work and shop now. All the services we used to travel into the city for are now moving out to us. I still have my studio downtown but two or three days a week I drive to work on fiber optic cable. Soon I expect the only visible presence I'll need for my business will be a virtual store front. I'm heading towards a zero consumable future.
