Making suburbs better...

The suburbanization of America marches on. That movement includes millennials, who, as it turns out, are not a monolithic generation of suburb-hating city dwellers, Alan Berger reports on nytimes.com.

Most of that generation represents a powerful global trend. They may like the city, but they love the suburbs even more, Berger wrote.

They are continuing to migrate to suburbs. According to the latest Census Bureau statistics, 25- to 29-year-olds are about a quarter more likely to move from the city to the suburbs as vice versa; older millennials are more than twice as likely, he added.

But those wanting to live in the suburbs also want changes.  For a look at how suburbs may evolve:  https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/09/15/sunday-review/future-suburb-millennials.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur&referer=http://m.facebook.com
