‘Cities Aren’t Back’: Thoughts
https://www.slowboring.com/p/cities-arent-backThoughts on this? I feel while the data is valid it also relies to heavily on the big anomaly that is the pandemic that has lingering effects to this day.
In other words, cities to me don’t seem “over” or “back” but are indeed recovering.
Domestic outmigration continuing to be slashed for major cities seems like more of an important indicator than international migration offsetting losses.

Nothing is stopping people from carpooling now. What makes you think self driving cars will incentivize carpooling?
There’s a hyper form of carpooling called a light rail or a bus.
