Eh, if remote work keeps moving the way it is, and autonomous vehicles deliver, all bets are off.


I don’t think that fuels suburban growth though. Suburbs are the worst of both worlds. I think the trends of remote work freedom, autonomous drone delivery, and better and better satellite internet service will fuel RURAL growth. So instead of moving to the half and half life of suburbs, the people who can will just say frick it, bail on the cities completely, and move to the country - lake houses, beach houses, and the mountains.

In Austin, the suburbs are located in exactly that kind of area all over Lake Travis.

Also, "suburb" may not even be the word to use anymore, as goods and services may decentralize from downtown making "burbs" more complete and not a "half and half" existence.

It's really hard to tell what will happen. I could argue downtown becomes even more popular in some ways too. I'm just excited about the possible freedom of it all.
