"This movement into the cities I think caught a lot of people by surprise. I keep getting surprised when they build condos in downtown Seattle and they get sold out in a month or so instead of causing a glut on the market."

I think a lot of people are looking at no commute, no yard, lots of things to do accessible by foot or public transportation and it makes a lot of sense. Especially if you have no kids.

Now there is "black flight" (from money). I guess if you live long enough you will see everything.

Since I was a kid, I've always believed that when a culture lost its cities to blight and violence, its very existence was at risk. Its good to see that more and more Americans are starting to appreciate American cities.

There is also a black flight from New Orleans.
