Lower rents and condo prices for me! Great!

I understand that in many war zones, rents are really low and condo prices go through the floor.

IF that is your aim. Why wait for something happening here? 🤣

Everyone’s family is different, but segregation has already happened by the 1970s. At that point the pendulum was already starting its swing back: gentrification was beginning in places like Park Slope and the UWS. But Richard Rothstein has a great analysis of how the segregation initially happened. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/how-federal-government-intentionally-racially-segregated-american-cities-180963494/

If there’s going to be a shift away from urban centers, nothing identified in this article is going to be the cause. The “filth”? LOL!

It’s going to be because housing prices are sky-high and will only go higher because of boomers jealously guarding their retirement and NIMBY types. SF, LA etc. are desirable places to live, as demonstrated by high demand and low vacancies, but many people can’t afford to move there or stay.

I read the column. Comparatively speaking, American cities have always been weaker than cities in other countries because of car culture, cultural biases, etc. I don’t see protests (which are basically over now, looting has ended) and coronavirus as long-term threats to urban centers. And besides, a lot of the looting was because NYPD and other police departments let it happen to prove a political point. Crime remains at or close to all-time lows.

Sky-high housing prices, however, are long-term threats because people are priced out of where they want to live. This is why cities with lower housing costs have been growing at the expense of more expensive places. NY would benefit a lot from a big building boom.

I disagree with the idea that liberalism is thfestering cause of this. Money centers will continue to be such. Post-vaccine, cities will recover. Until then, I'm chilling in the Presidio. Peace and love from SF.

~gasp, a liberal

Hot take, for those who received a stimulus based on FY19 or FY18 returns why doesn’t the government make people pay it back in the FY20 return if they don’t qualify based on the actual tax year stimulus was for? I understand why they couldn’t wait but IrS knows who received it so it isn’t hard to implement. Could have used the anticipated saving coming back to fund more stimulus for those who truly needed it.
