“Think, less suburb, more rural; fewer sidewalks, more country roads; fewer mega malls, more strip malls. These areas — characterized by more affordable housing and greater distance from cities — emerged as the districts du jour for well-to-do Americans during the Great Migration of the pandemic.”

In an odd way, though, what it really accomplished was to shake a large portion of the citizenry out of its complacency, i.e., awakened it to a myriad of lifestyle possibilities. Where one lives and works and how one lives and works are two social arrangements now undergoing radical change. This article does a good job of outlining how and why it is happening – a trend many feel has been a long-time coming.
