No, not in smaller cities (i.e. The one with a 50k pop I lived in).

Nope, not if you live in any major city.

jghn | karma 4899 | avg karma 2.43 · | 2016-12-27 11:34:10

Not for at least a decade, more in larger cities.

Only in big cities?

Yes, but it's not demographic-specific, because it doesn't happen in all cities.

And all large cities have all demographics.

Not so much in crowded cities, such as NY, SF, etc.

Not unless your city has a catchment area population of about 87.6 million they don't.

True...only in the cities.

Jommi | karma 985 | avg karma 1.03 · | 2019-11-05 10:24:29

Yes, in now richer cities. But they still thrive in lower gdp cities.

fwefwwfe | karma 59 | avg karma 0.97 · | 2017-03-28 20:08:28

Does that not apply to all major metropolitan areas?

thfuran | karma 7179 | avg karma 1.96 · | 2023-10-22 05:53:20

They can. That doesn't mean any specific small city is likely to.

emodendroket | karma 21781 | avg karma 1.83 · | 2021-06-04 15:49:42

Uh yeah of course but hardly confined to huge cities like that.

rtio | karma 9 | avg karma 0.82 · | 2019-06-24 16:22:58+00:00

Not really. Tends to be the same in any booming city. The opposite is the exception.

stonogo | karma 5871 | avg karma 2.7 · | 2022-04-26 10:39:05

No, it's affecting smaller cities too, as the article explicitly addresses.

pantalaimon | karma 13220 | avg karma 6.05 · | 2023-09-16 15:12:40

That depends on whether you live in a big city or not

afarrell | karma 9952 | avg karma 2.36 · | 2016-11-10 23:52:28+00:00

I've heard this about many cities, including Boston, London, and New York.

Do you have evidence that it is true in large numbers?

twic | karma 21889 | avg karma 3.14 · | 2014-04-06 11:44:00

No, because cities are much, much more efficient.

axod | karma 15942 | avg karma 2.86 · | 2010-11-11 23:28:04+00:00

In the big cities, possibly.

NicoJuicy | karma 10294 | avg karma 1.47 · | 2023-03-06 05:36:15

Yes, not according to what I'm aware of, population is moving more and more to big cities.

If I'm understanding it correctly, it means that the social pressure decreased too?

mc32 | karma 33963 | avg karma 2.39 · | 2024-03-22 13:17:42

That’s only if you count within strict city limits. Metro areas, not to mention MSAs consists of larger pops.
