Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3871472, member: 1414"] I think that was a myth really. There was a little of that, because the largest generation in history hit retirement age. But the surveys showed there was no actual shift of people of child bearing age into urban centers, they still preferred the suburbs. Also, while the pandemic sped up WFH, it was already happening across many industries. We had been tracking that trend. 5G is going to bring fast internet to more rural areas. I think it's pretty much permanent at this point. People will go to offices, but not full time. People will go to the movies again, but they will want big houses with big TV/home theater setups. Outdoor living space has been a premium consideration and the pandemic showed why. Then you can add carbon footprint considerations. If a train beats a car, staying home beats the train by even more, especially with a big drop in business travel. [/QUOTE]
