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.
If someone were a journalist, writing fantasies about people moving back into the filthy disease-ridden crime-infested Peoples' Collectives, they would have no idea about employers building suburban campuses, or famous hospitals building treatment centers equipped with the best and latest equipment "Out Here".
How would a journalist know anything about where the JOBS are, anyway?
One only has to commute to the City on the train for ONE Flu season to learn their lesson.
