Can someone please explain to me why, in the 80s and 90s, people in their young careers, early 30s, young family professionals,etc, were desperate to leave cities and move to suburban places like texas, arizona, southern california, and other sunbelt places, while in today's world, people in those same age groups are desperate to live in cities again?

What kind of parent would rob their child of an outdoor life the suburbans and exurbs provide?



Kind of off-topic from the OP, but go to Google Earth or Historic Aerials to compare suburban maps from the 80's to today. The Sunbelt is pretty urban today, and suburban commute times are much longer.

We may start to see some reversal of the trend though if Democrat DA's and judges let crime get back to 80's and 90's levels.
