We were a hidden jewel for the longest time. We’ve traded affordable housing in a great little city for a stupid bus line and breweries.

There aren't going to be any more hidden jewels--it's just too expensive to live in the big cities any more outside maybe Chicago. I used to work for a company with an LA office and a coworker of mine wanted to be a house flipper, when she showed me a granny flat for $1 million my East Coast mind thought it was on the beach... no, it was by a random highway exit.

still great. Still very affordable for what it is. Much more expensive than it used to be. But the secret was always going to get out

Rather be a great big city anyway. Nothing fun about being little.

Sure. But all these people that live in a city are acting like they want to live in the middle of nowhere.

Any decent city is going to grow. If you don't like people don't live in a city.
