The world is still paying attention to millennials and their migration habits, despite Generation Z’s incoming threat. And while millennials appear to like cities, thanks to their good public transportation and myriad Apple Stores, a new study says some of the world’s biggest urban areas are in danger of losing their young people in the next 10 years.
Global initiative group YouthfulCities interviewed 15,000 millennials in 34 cities all over the world, splitting them up by continent.

Oh man, I can’t wait to put Garland in my rear view mirror.
Glen Rose area maybe, or a few miles east of Mena, AR. Somewhere I can’t hear car stereo bass notes. I mean hell, that’s all you hear around here: BRRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMM ... BRRRMM ... repeat.
Hell, that's practically wearing a sign that says you need to be shot.
Yep, there’s more to life than being financially stretched in a trendy city neighborhood. There’s more to life than being near trendy bars and restaurants.
WHat, they gonna move back in with moms and pops?
Where do you live? It sounds like a place I would like to retire to in the next five years. The Socialist Democratic Peoples Republic of Maryland is getting to be too much for me.
Excellent thoughts! Post of the month Vike!
Yay, Viking! Couldn’t have said it any better myself. We’re not done for yet, who think as you do.
Will sleep well tonight, my weapon close by. Tak!

Dear Millennials:
West Virginia is a horrible State, populated entirely by toothless, unedumacated, long-haired hillbillies who would as soon make you squeal like a pig as look at you. And we all have guns.
