80% of the United States population lives within 100 miles of a city. In other words, the suburbs.
80% of the United States population lives within 100 miles of a city, 7:56.
That is an area in square miles much more similar to the size of Europe. It is no excuse.
If anything, Europe is FAR ahead of the U.S. in green energy, etc, forcing the U.S. to step it up and live a more more urban than we already do now.
Or you probably think the best way to solve global warming is to continue building 5000 sf McMansions??
Gas will be hitting $4 a gallon within the next year or year and a half. It’s becoming such that people really need to change the way they live.
We are already seeing it now. The close in-more urban suburbs have been revitalized much more so than the far out more rural ones.
People in general are gravitating towards cities more and more. If not INSIDE one, as close as they can get…you know…where nearly EVERYONE WORKS!!!
There is a reason Brooklyn real estate continues to rise as many suburbs continue to se price declines. It’s quite simple. People want to be live in more urban environments.
The city will continue to provide as much as it can to keep up with the demand.
See that fact that this past year the subway saw ridership levels not seen in 1950??
I personally find all of this news terrific.
8:34–I am pretty sure that the other Lincoln Place houses were taken off the market. The apartments in one of them were being offered for rent on Craigslist.
143 days on market in StreetEasy
Does anyone know whatever happened to the other two Lincoln Place houses that were HOTDs along with the one that sold for 3 sticks? I think the addresses are 104 and 108 Lincoln Place. One was a double duplex and the other was a one or two family in mid-reno. It looks to me like both places have apartments for rent listed with Bellmarc. Did someone buy them and decide to rent them out or did they never sell and are being rented by the seller?
You do realize that ancient Rome did not have cars, subways, trains and those new fangled aeroplanes, right?
Also, Europe is a wee bit smaller and more dense than here, don’t ya think?
What’s lower than an F? Whatever it is, it’s yours. Is this the result of No Asshat Left Behind?
If you really are a student of history, you get an F, 7:05.
History and all of the great civilizations of the world CENTERED around the city. Rome, for one. Look at Europe where suburban sprawl barely became an issue. London, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Copenhagen, Florence, Venice, Milan, Madrid, ATHENS!!! Then when the U.S. became a nation, it was Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York and Boston that led this country through its development.
It wasn’t Massapequa, that’s for darn sure.
These were the great cities of history.
Suburbs are a primarily American invention that had their heyday from about 1950-1995 when people left cities because they were afraid of black people.
You do realize that history goes back more than 100 years, right??
You think the suburbs are so over, forty years ago the experts thought the city was so over.
One never knows about the future. As a student of history I know that predictions, especially from experts, are almost always dead wrong. I can see real sustainability issues with the city in the future. Environmentalists think that it is the suburbs that have those issues but they are driven primarily by ideology, so my guess is they are as wrong as the fifties modernists calling cities obsolete. We are barely capable of understanding the past and present never mind the future.
