About effin time. Maybe now the yuppies will move back to their trendy lofts and converted warehouses downtown, and leave the country folk alone (stop complaining when they start their farm chores around oh-dark-thirty). Maybe then too the prices will drop back to reasonable levels so I can get my ten acres at an appropriately-valued price.
These high gas prices are the best thing that’s come along for the socialsists since they made up “Global Warming”.
While things will change as they always do, I think this is a bit overly dramatic.
I just don’t see folks leaving 2,000 to 5,000 sq ft “mcmansions” to go squeeze into a bunch of innercity apartments .
Sure some folks fortunes will fall and other will rise and people will shift. But thats always the case.
Do you mean world trade was not good for national security after all?
Well, I for one agree with peter - all those folks should flee to the safety and security of the big city and let the ‘burbs return to its natural state. And I volunteer to stick around and make sure that it does ;’}
Well, then, Peter S. Goodman ... Let’s drill, shall we?
Oh, how the sanctimonious urbanites would love to force the people who fled the hellholes to have to eat crow and move back, give up their cushy suburban lifestyles and their safe schools and nice neighborhood markets and become miserable in the big city like everybody else.
The a-holes who write WEEDS for Showtime should just love this story.
Me: "You see this (holds up two fingers rubbing together)? The sound of the world's smallest violin playing strictly for you."
“...set far from urban jobs.”
Bloody European moron. Companies seek out stable individuals who are willing to work.That means young families with children, Christian, educated.
These companies are not locating in liberal hellholes populated by head-bangers, with three inch steel washers hanging from their tongues, a severe case of herpes and a barely functioning cocaine-addled brain.
A tour of nearly any American liberal city reveals giant clusters of shuttered factories, crumbling infrastructure and boarded up downtown districts.
Exurbia is the new America. Why would Americans move to the city so they can drive to their jobs in exurbia 30 miles away?
This guy is a moron.
It doesn’t make sense to move back in the city. Many hospitals, malls, businesses and other facilities have been movin g out to the ‘burbs along with the people. For many, their jobs are now in the ‘burbs.
There are tons of people living in rural areas in places like France and Italy, with $8/gallon gas.
Now, over time, there’s no doubt higher gas costs will result in people making economic decisions to buy smaller cars and live closer to centers of employment. But the demise of the suburb, while highly desired by many on the political Left, isn’t happening anytime soon.
This scenario is popular now but it isn’t happening just yet.
An extra $80 a month is wiping these people out?
Bummer.

Starting next week I cut my work related gas expense from $400/mo to Zero. Baby’s gonna get new shoes!
