serge 904 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (This is a longer version of a twitter rant I just posted, so ignore it if you don't care) "The younger generation in this country (perhaps resembling their grandparents rather than their parents) is less suburban minded than its elders, as it has become aware that the uncontrolled sprawl of our communities only aggravates their problems, and that the solution lies in re-shaping the city as a whole." That quote is from 1956, but it might as well have been written today. So the 20-somethings in the 50s wanted to go back to the city... but their children, those born around the late 50s, early 60s are those who yearned for suburban seclusion, and now, those of us born ~1980-1994ish, the "millennials" are prone to wanting to return to the city. That's quite interesting to me. Are we in a pattern here? Can we build cities well enough this time around so that my kids will want to stay, rather than flee to suburbs? Will be interesting to see, and certainly some interesting perspective on the matter. Two things: They want to stay, it's just not financially possible and not desirable.

Zach6668 513 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I meant to post this in the Toronto thread, but Tweets works the same, lol. Flee is certainly an accurate term. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_flight Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Not all of the younger generation wants to live like you Zach. There's no facts either that a majority of the younger generation wants to live like you. Your just stating opinions, not facts. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 And don't act like a majority of the ppl are like you and would rather live in a 500 square foot condo then a house. If a random alien came from outer space and you asked the alien if he would rather live in a 500 square ft condo or a big house, 99/100 aliens would pick the house. The other alien is related to you. And people like "things". The younger generation isn't like you and hates "things". 1 Link to post Share on other sites
