The Collapse of American Cities Has Started. And Yours Is Next

- This is the San Fransisco Bay Area. It has been one of the biggest economic HUB’s of the world for the last 50 years. In fact, if this region of just 18,000 square kilometres...were to be its own country...it would have the 19th largest economy in the world...ahead of countries like switzerland, taiwan, sweden, belgium, and the United Arab Emirates.
The bay area has been one of the fastest growing regions in the united states for nearly half a century...but then something changed
In fact, the Bay area, along with many other cities around the world, are going through drastic times that could spell the end of cities as we know them…
The year is 1957. A nobel prize winner named William shockley had recently moved to mountain view california and started a company called the ‘Shockley Semiconductor Company’. You see, he had come up with an idea to build transistors out of Silicon instead of Germanium, which was a revolutionary idea for at the time.
So, the Shockley semiconductor company began making the first modern day transistors that would go on to be used in every computer for the rest of the 20th century.
But there was some trouble. William Shockley rubbed a lot of his employees the wrong way... So 8 of his employees left the company, and went on to start their own semiconductor company in the area, called Fairchild Semiconductor...which was based around the same technology that william shockley invented.
For years afterwards, employees from Fairchild Semiconductor and Bell Labs, continued to innovate in northern california, by inventing the integrated circuit and eventually the microprocessor in 1964.
And it was after this invention that the world as we know it, and the bay area, would change forever.
After the invention of the microprocessor, Tech companies started popping up left and right, around the same area in Northern California.
For example, Intel and AMD were two of the first multi billionaire dollar tech companies to be founded in what is now known as silicon valley.
Then... two twenty something guys in the area named Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, heard about this new chip technology...and started to use these chips in something that they called the ‘Apple 1’.
And after their startup company called Apple, generated an IPO value of $1.3 Billion dollars, and after seeing the success of the now dozens of massive semiconductor companies in the Bay Area…
Venture capital and tech companies began spreading throughout the area in hopes that their startup tech adventure could become the next intel or Apple.
And what followed was one of the craziest economic experiments in history...as every city within silicon valley soon had multiple billion dollar tech companies calling their city, home.
For example,
ORacle was founded in 1977 in Santa Clara,
Seagate was founded in 1979 in Cupertino,
Adobe was founded in 1982 in Mountain View,
Autodesk was founded in 1982 in Mill Valley,
Cisco was founded in San FRanscisco in 1984,
Mcafee was founded in 1987 in Santa Clara,
And dozens of other companies were founded in the late 70s and 80s that are currently worth billions of dollars to this day.
And keep in mind that these companies were all located within about 150 kilometres of eachother.
And the result of this economic and technological explosion in the area, would go on to change the city forever.
You see, as these startup companies like apple and cisco grew, they needed to hire more people and pay them well for their highly skilled labour.
So, the bay area in the 1980s saw a massive increase to its average income. But because of the rapid increase in income, and a lack of supply of things like residential housing and commercial spaces, the cost of living shot through the roof.
In fact from 1984 to 1990, the median housing cost increased by just under 150%...
And this trend was far from over.
Because the 1990’s issued a new age of tech companies called ‘internet companies’
So in 1995, Ebay and craigslist were founded in the area,
PAypal was founded in San Jose in 1998
Google was founded in 1998 in Menlo PArk,
Facebook would begin its operations in menlo park in 2004, And a litany of others like tesla, UBer, and Twitter, have been founded in the area since then.

"The Collapse of American Cities Has Started. And Yours Is Next"
Me who doesn't live in a city and isn't American: "I'm 4 parallel universes ahead of you."
Hmmmmm....honey, do you remember where we put the painting of Arminius after the Teutorburg thing, that your great grand mom gave us, remember its in the sea trunk with her Luger. I think we might need them both. their saying its Rome all over again. ? neolithic farmer rgw/73

@@nancybarnes29 could you explain me? Please

The circle of city life: San Francisco becomes too expensive - many tech companies relocate to Austin/Texas - Austin becomes more expensive till it is too expensive - ...
Agreed, and where is the next city to invest in?
@@RnWSolutions Are you seriously think you will be faster than the market sharks?
This is what I keep telling friends and people who are coming from Cali complaining about "Democrat laws/high taxes" ruined Cali, Im like no its Silicon Valley and a lack of Housing that did Cali in, and its happening to Texas because we're letting Silicon Valley in.
@@jrpone Keeping Silicon Valley from established cities would protect people, but the politicians will never let it happen.
@@jrpone liberal politics continue to ruin Cali, they have lost billions in 1 year of shutdowns from the MLB playoffs moved to TX last year and all the conventions moved. Now the same libs that moved to Austin are destroying that city, its a homeless mess with the same lockdowns and mask requirements despite TX attorney General skiing them to open up.
This is a good summary, but I am definitely in the camp that this is a "blip." Cities have had pandemics before, and they will have them again. This seems more like a correction to the overinflated market of NYC and SF, rather than a general trend overall. Especially in the case of SF, there simply hasn't been enough new housing built, due to outdated zoning regulations. And that scarcity has allowed people to treat the housing market like the stock market. That's not representative of the rest of the country.
Furthermore, when businesses, theaters, restaurants, and bars open up again, there will be demand again for cities and walkable places. People will remember why that small house or condo in the city is worth more than the suburban McMansion: location, location, and ... I forget the 3rd but it's important too.
And those people who work from home 100% of the time are going to be in for a shock in the long-term: if you can do the job from Boise, then somebody else can do the job cheaper in Bangkok. I was a tech executive for years, and there is no doubt in my mind that a whole bunch of these "white collar" workers are going to find their "knowledge work" outsourced way faster than they think. For example, many people in Taiwan are smart as hell, and many of the Taiwanese people who worked for me did a way better job than the people in the US who were getting paid twice as much. If we didn't "need" those people to physically be in the US office, their jobs would've been moved to in Taiwan in a heartbeat.
Just the large numbers of homeless ppl camping out on the streets & the high crime rate are enough to deter me from visiting SF, let alone living there.
Yup! Young people will not live in the suburbs. Once they can go out again and party, socialize, eat, etc... again the cities will be back. And, where young people go the innovative companies go. That's when rich people move in. If you don't think NOW is the best time to buy property in major cities you aren't reading the historical signs and 5-10 years from now you'll be one of those "I could have bought during the pandemic - now it's 60 times more!" You ca bet the politicians are buying up a whole bunch during this artificial correction. Humans are resilient and predictable.
The pandemic is not causing problems, it is the authoritarian overreaction in response that is doing 90% of the harm. That plus the insanity of "progressive" ideology that is causing society to crumble and flight out of the unsafe cities.
@@PaintedCavern Flight out of cities has been happening since the 1940's when civil rights activists began pushing harder for neighborhood integration. Thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of white people up and left cities between 1940 and today. Society has not crumbled despite cities having lost significant portions of their population.
@@benbird2100 @ben bird I wasn't suggesting that society is crumbling because the cities are losing population. I meant that civility, decency, and justice are diminishing, and common sense seems to have disappeared. Until 2020 long term the trend has been more urbanization not less. In 1970 US had 73% in cities, and in 2019 it was 82%. My point was that progressive policies have contributed to the decline of livability in cities, which the lock downs exasperated. The pandemic alone did nothing, it was the irrational government policies which people are trying to escape.
Shockley rubbed his employees the wrong way. TRANSLATION: His employees stole his idea and started their own companies.
"The collapse of American cities has started" Me, a Detroiter: first time?
However, all the Midwest states have the greatest comeback potential. Minnesota having Foxconn built a new plant, Cadillac moving its headquarters back to Detroit and Dan Gilbert rebuilding Detroit downtown, Cleveland, OH receiving new North American Headquarters of London Stock Exchange and Sherwin Williams building new a Cleveland headquarters. By the way... London Stock Exchange is the 3rd biggest enterprise in the world behind New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ with over $4.5 trillion dollar market cap.
Like I stated, California and New York are in trouble from climate change and everything is way too expensive.
Just announced Oracle and Tesla is moving to Austin, Texas.

Good post, Jack! When you mentioned how history teaches us, there is no greater lesson than the market crash of '29. The cities suffered greatly, while the farmers, Amish, Mennonites and Quakers were virtually unaffected. They had all their life-support in place: food, water & shelter. And with moral, decent neighbors the bartering of goods was common.
But here's the clincher, brother Jack: What we see in the character of men today is nothing like the character of men in the 30's. This, in union with cities keeping only small stockpiles of goods will not fare well for the average American. Mob mentality is most bitter and cruel. Just look at war.
I once toured around the the US, and the one thing i will always take from that visit, was just how deserted many of these middle America towns and cities where. You could walk through a town and never see a single person, all the shops shut. This was actually back in spring 2000. This was middle America and I was really shocked at how many towns and cities we went through that seemed like ghost towns as if everyone had uprooted and moved to another town or city. That part of America where the so called American dream was still alive and well, had no one even living in it.
What I like about your channel is that you can talk about things declining and changing without sounding like a doomsday prophet. Your very nuance and measured and Im glad your channel is doing well

If the trend toward remote working continues and becomes permanent, employment competition will soon be between you and virtually anyone else on the planet with a good Internet connection. If you think wages are "too low" now, just wait a bit.
i acually think it could be opposite, plus many people still need to up their skill level to go into this new decade (Era/Age) Also who knows when the rest of the world will actually allow Americans in?
Already happening in Engineering, Accounting and Law anything that can be done on software. Even xrays checking and marking of assignments are outsourced to the third world. I see such a massive reaction and bloodletting it makes the French revolution and the Bolsheviks look a children's teddy bear picnic. The hatred and distain towards the elite and towards the ruling dictatorial classes will be at rage levels. And always remember 24 hours without power and we are back in the stone age. This will happen once the people have nothing at all to lose and it could happen very quickly if triggered by the right event.
Not all jobs can be done remotely, in fact very few can be done at home. Even if there is jobs that can be done at home, most people still wanted to go to the office. Many of my office mates doesnt want to work at home, because it is not conducive, they tends to get lazy. Also, maybe you can work at home and communicate online and so on. But I think communications works best and becomes clearer when you have face to face conversations. And last but not least. Do people really want to sit at home 24/7? I dont know about you. But if I have to work at home, eat at home, sleep at home, etc. I will go crazy. i think this whole work at home buzz is over exaggerated.
Right..or God forbid something happens to the internet...😳😳😂😂

"The rest of the 20th and 21st century"
I don't know man, we still have 79 years left in this century. We might replace the silicon semiconductor by the end of it.
It feels like the 1950's again. A brand new shift in the cities. People move to the Suburbs, and new cities rise and fall. A shift from California to the South in this case.
I don’t think the climate crisis is going to allow that to happen

@Huawei is a criminal organization. What do you think was the motivation for outsourcing to China that helped make companies like Huawei what they are today? the greed of USA's 1% who preferred using a police state to manufacture their goods and increase their profit margins, rather than pay workers in the United States a decent wage. The USA vs. China conflict is the greatest self own in human history. The idea that outsourcing manufacturing to another country, they wouldn't somehow figure out how to do what you do, is hilarious.

Before the recent virus crisis about 2 years ago our prime minister was giving a speech in which he praised the working people as those who got up early in the morning for the long trip to work....note he did not say their work was hard or onerous, laws and regulations governing safety, bullying and physical limits to what employer could do to employees have largely made the actual work relatively easy and burden-free. What he was at pains to point out was that it was now the daily trip to and from work that consumed most of peoples time and energy and wore them out more than their actual work. The recent virus crisis and the increase in people working from home has shown a lot of people that this new way is better, no onerous and physically demanding commutes, no office politics and bitterness, no need even to dress up in compulsory corporate wear unless you are on video conferencing. Many people are now ditching urban housing in favour of rural housing because of this new-found freedom. Many rural communities have open offices which can be rented by the hour so that remote workers can have access to printers, secretarial services, fast internet, meeting rooms etc. These are not owned by a single company but shared by anyone who needs to use it. Many companies are ditching dedicated buildings and office spaces in favour of generic shared office spaces hired by the hour as needed. My wifes office building has been reduced in number of occupants to 1/3 of the original pre-covid amount to allow for social distancing. 2 of my daughters flat mates now work from their rural homes, giving up their city appartments as no longer needed. Many of the neighbouring units are empty due to reduced demand.
Not everybody can afford to leave, not everyone wants to leave their neighborhood. Most want to make it livable otherwise it will just be richer tech people and nobody else. Not a very stable economy and COVID is finally exposing how shitty this inequality is.
Exactly. That's what I did before I amassed my wealth with trading. I just moved to a different country and stayed there to build. And now I can be anywhere and live well. Never would stay in super expensive places until I have over 500 million in liquid money though. Seems too dumb to pay 3600+ for rent. I'd rather drive there or be in a hotel for that if I pay that much
Bro, the peasants live better than many citicens.
Exactly. The problem is that many employers are still unable to realize this fact that it is beneficial for the employee. And if employee can increase quality of his life on his own, then he can also deliver better results at work which is eventually beneficial for the employer as well. And if I can deliver results at work no matter where I am, I do not see a point to be put into cubicle and made to live in an big expensive city.
I’ve been saying for years that cities as we know them currently only exist based on the inertia caused by everything being there because that was once economically necessary.
Cities are more than economic hubs. They are cultural and social hubs. Humans are inherently social and gravitate towards settlements. Logic.
True. But I think this downward trend will only be in a few countries. A lot of countries still don’t have nationwide electrical grids, so cities are still necessary.

When age fell upon the world, and wonder went out of the minds of men; when grey cities reared to smoky skies tall towers grim and ugly, in whose shadow none might dream of the sun or of spring’s flowering meads; when learning stripped earth of her mantle of beauty, and poets sang no more save of twisted phantoms seen with bleared and inward-looking eyes; when these things had come to pass, and childish hopes had gone away forever, there was a man who travelled out of life on a quest into the spaces whither the world’s dreams had fled.
Of the name and abode of this man but little is written, for they were of the waking world only; yet it is said that both were obscure. It is enough to know that he dwelt in a city of high walls where sterile twilight reigned, and that he toiled all day among shadow and turmoil, coming home at evening to a room whose one window opened not on the fields and groves but on a dim court where other windows stared in dull despair. From that casement one might see only walls and windows, except sometimes when one leaned far out and peered aloft at the small stars that passed. And because mere walls and windows must soon drive to madness a man who dreams and reads much, the dweller in that room used night after night to lean out and peer aloft to glimpse some fragment of things beyond the waking world and the greyness of tall cities. After years he began to call the slow-sailing stars by name, and to follow them in fancy when they glided regretfully out of sight; till at length his vision opened to many secret vistas whose existence no common eye suspects. And one night a mighty gulf was bridged, and the dream-haunted skies swelled down to the lonely watcher’s window to merge with the close air of his room and make him a part of their fabulous wonder.
There came to that room wild streams of violet midnight glittering with dust of gold; vortices of dust and fire, swirling out of the ultimate spaces and heavy with perfumes from beyond the worlds. Opiate oceans poured there, litten by suns that the eye may never behold and having in their whirlpools strange dolphins and sea-nymphs of unrememberable deeps. Noiseless infinity eddied around the dreamer and wafted him away without even touching the body that leaned stiffly from the lonely window; and for days not counted in men’s calendars the tides of far spheres bare him gently to join the dreams for which he longed; the dreams that men have lost. And in the course of many cycles they tenderly left him sleeping on a green sunrise shore; a green shore fragrant with lotus-blossoms and starred by red camalotes.

North Central Ohio saw this movie in the 80’s! It was called ‘Death of the Auto Industry’.
I hear you, but ironically, we're building more vehicles in the US now, than at any point in history, with 1/3rd of the people needed during the 80's. Not because of outsourcing, but because of efficiency gains and automation. If nothing else, the video shows that the only constant in this world is change, and to survive, we need to learn to adapt or we'll get left behind.

The sad part is during the boom times these cities took on debt, so when things go bad they are going to be real bad
the sad part is that they allowed the tech industry to replace American workers with foreign workers on work visas. That completely changed the nature of the electorate, as more Americans are pushed out, to be replaced by non-voting residents whose livelihood depends solely on the company which sponsored their visas.
Just look at the national debt clock, with all the related debts, to see the enormity of debt. Furthermore, many other debts, like social security, Medicare, are not even on the official balance sheets.

They are like locust , they turn your citys and towns into the very thing they left behind, Parasites kill their host.
The high taxes are for basic social needs that the cities provide. Cities won't decline but will grow
Seattle, Portland, Chicago and Milwaukee are well on their way to becoming Detroit.
And sf and nyc
Chicago is very well as bad as Detroit bad reputation if not worse
I don't think Seattle is that bad. Saint Louis and Atlanta are better examples.
I would your partially right and partially wrong Seattle has taken measures to address it s problems and it all depends on the situation of each city and how it faces their problems line anything choices based on how things work and what measures are taken that support the city will in effect remove many issues. It just depends who is running the show and can move towards better solutions.
NY state taxes and property taxes are ridiculous too. Ain't nobody got time for that.
'Seattle hasn't experienced these same problems'??? Jack, did you just come out of a coma?
My mom and I were like, uhhhh Seattle has problems... people are definitely setting it down and backing away.
Dude you can't even rent a Uhaul in Seattle right now. Everyone is like peace CHAZ/CHOP was cool but im going back to Iowa
Median home price in Seattle is over $700k so families are competing for the limited supply of low end undesirable homes which are now around $700k on average thanks to bidding wars.. so basically if you want a home to live in, don’t come here. I’m trying to get a job elsewhere right now.

I’m sorry, but this isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. The SanFran, NY and other markets were long overdue for a correction. SanFran rents are almost $4,000 a month for a one bedroom. It was unsustainable to begin with. Even if rents drop 50%, that’s still $2,000 a month. Victoria’s Secret was spending almost $12 million a year just in rent for their store in Manhattan. If anything, this will push the cities to turn back towards to making them a place for more average people and not the elite and wealthy playgrounds. Cities are the first to evolve with the world. Look at all the great world cities. They’ve all been written off and have come back. They all come back in different ways because they adapt. Quite a few people may leave but they will be replaced with others. People who are hoping cities become ghost towns don’t understand economics at all and the central role cities play in the economy of every country on the planet.
Agreed. I don't wish failure on anyone, but I must acknowledge that it makes absolutely no sense to live in a city where 1 bedroom costs 4k per month when my current city(and home city) of Wichita does the same for 1/5 the cost, downtown, all expenses paid!
I think things may be a little different because of the web. I think the city was a very 20 th century development. But l think the west may have to many big cities with declining population you may only need 2 or 3 big cities not dozens.
Great comment until your assumptions about people's understanding of economics. That was not an emotionally intelligent comment to write. You want to be able to look a person in the eye when you tell them they're dumb.
Then why are people leaving?
will rents drop by 50%? or house prices 50%? dreaming.

A large decline in demand for housing will drive down prices and attract people back to the city, theoretically. Especially if the city is has a lot to offer as far as beauty, culture and entertainment. I have been to Detroit; they don’t have anything of these things.
Detroit is economically (but not geographically) a "rust belt" city. It's magic because, what you see there is what is left of America's middle class. Tragic.

SF is endemically short on housing due to them voting in Dems whom want to maintain the cities' skyline.
Red NIMBY’s tend to be moderates and conservatives. The only reason Houston isn’t as expensive (and it will be eventually, because they’re built out and not up) is because it’s on flat land and has a lot of room. SF doesn’t have that. Last time my state went republican, my folks almost took massive pay cuts and lost everything they had. I would never have had the means to move and meet the people I did and start my business had that happened. Try again.
A large urban region can sustain itself if it has a diverse economic base. That is the magnet that will keep people there at least until they can retire. The disadvantage of rural areas is the ability to make a decent living, remote work or not.
The internet as we know it is what 20-25 years old, this was always gonna happen, covid sped it up but the writing has been on the wall for a while lotta shits gonna change in the next hundred years both exciting and scary.

Coming from England and seeing London a ghost town i think expensive cities will change for the future. Why pay those extorburant fees when you can work from home? The problem is the retail and hospitality sector that was built to accomodate these commuters cannot hang on for their return and so what made cities attractive with these businesses and bars will become a microscopic version of what once was! We are in the middle of the tech revolution brought forward by years by this pandemic we just wernt ready for it and so people are selling up and moving out. The more time moves on the prices will fall and then the danger of negative equity comes in for these sellers. Hmmm what next?
lancomeist the costs of fighting the pandemic by shutdown are mounting. The government has underestimated the costs, which is human suffering in its own right.
the flaw of this analysis is that is based on that idea that we can just work online and that we don't care about being in a working environment, interacting with our colleagues, exchanging ideas etc. in a face to face basis. Home working is a trend but it will exhaust at same point.

Anyone else get anxiety from the van shifting lanes that clip had me nervous for that driver lol
Yes that van made me nervous sneaking into the lane of traffic.
No kidding! I saw that & thought, Whoa! WTF? Maybe the camera angle made the gap between the vehicles appear less than it really was. It sure looked like the front of the car & the back of the van were literally touching, but the car didn't even slow down or swerve. The shadows indicate there's at least a few feet of space, so if it's not an illusion from the camera angle, maybe they're all F1 drivers on their daily commute to the track, LOL.

A C you have a good point, but damn the city is a mess right now. There’s an exit tax for the rich so getting rich doesn’t even make sense anymore 😭
@A C You make a good point on your first sentence. However, SF is SO bad that there is no way you can avoid needles, poop, and people running around screaming unless you live in a very wealthy neighborhood or are so far away from downtown and don't leave your home. They are moving the encampments to different districts of SF. They did the same thing for the Superbowl in 2016 to appear clean to visitors. The homeless came back to downtown areas because of tourism and panhandling, some for drugs, and others for basic needs. But now they aren't coming back as quickly because there isn't much tourism right now.
Why indeed?? I wouldn't live in pest hole like that if I were paid to.

Bailed out of my state capitol city over 40 years ago in 1980. Too many faces & not enough spaces. Moved to a small village about 180k [about 115 miles] away & started & raised a family there. Now an empty nester & on my own I bought a humble cottage in a regional city of only 25,000 a further 70k [about 43 miles] further out about three years ago. The population here has remained relatively stable for more than 60 years, so, .... only two hours from the state capitol & one hour from the national capitol & along side a main arterial highway. Doesn't get any better than that.
I dont live in an uptight Yankee state. I live in savage ass Florida. We're growing more and more each year
Stay savage brother
But I thought living in a tiny expensive apartment and taking a smelly subway to work was sooooo trendy.
@fane babanu idk I kinda like living in a big affordable house, having my own yard and being able to own a car without worrying about paying a fortune for parking.
@fane babanu I live in Alberta Canada and I can visit a place like that whenever I want with the money I save living in "hick town" I'd just rather not pay the ridiculous living expenses and have to deal with the crime, riots and all the other nonsense. Besides where I live we still have great parks, mountain bike trails and campsites. Lots of people take their boats to the lake on the weekend and I'm only an hour anyway from the rocky mountains. It's not like there's nothing to do out here especially if you enjoy nature lol
@fane babanu Is it really worth the money though? We have bars and clubs here too they just don't have any fancy name recognition. It's also easy to have fun out here if your creative about it. For example camping out somewhere with friends to drink and party or simply having a bbq in the backyard or going kayaking. I enjoy that more than going to a fancy bar just so I can show off on social media. I also find it really convenient having a vehicle for the times I need it and my city dosen't punish me for doing so.
@fane babanu I hope I didn't come off as rude there. I do actually understand your argument but I just like the lifestyle of a small city alot more because of the convenience, space and low expenses.
@Sasha Da Masta it's not so much about the house, car and yard that provides fullfilment but rather the financial freedom, the ability to travel to unique places, the time spent with friends and family which makes the boring suburb feel like home and if your lucky working a career you enjoy doing. Granted things may be farther away and sometime you do need to drive somewhere to walk or hike but it's still possible to enjoy nature. I'm lucky to be so close to banff and jasper national park but I understand not all small city suburbs have something like that within driving distance. I've been to Oregon btw and I must say it really is beautiful down there 🙂
I love how everyone's moving to the smaller city's and whatever because of that without realizing that by everyone moving to these smaller city's you're just growing them to bigger ones.
Ashville North Carolina is a great example. 5 years ago, it was on everyone's best small city list. Now there are complaints of quickly rising prices (not for Californians moving in, but from the young adults whose families have lived there for generations), homelessness, and increasing crime. So the secret is to stay small, with no jobs, not be cute or scenic, and don't be known for friendliness.
And the cycle will begin anew
Yup you just said what I couldn't find the words to say for decades. Finally.
Its no tha they are big cities it is how they are run

This is good. Centralization has mostly brought negatives. It's bad for society as big cities have no community, are very a-social and people start being treated as expendable be it in work or by just other people around them.

When people discover the real meaning of life.... that is to have a family.... the suburbs or small towns become more interesting for a healthy way of life.
*Large cities* are like a station in life. Most people move on to the smaller city or suburbs.
Suburbs are unsustainable. We need humanity in efficient cities. We'll soon be 10 or 11 billion people. If we're spread all over the place we use up too much land area. Cities are more efficient for transport and supply. And use much less space per person. That area is valuable for agricultural or reforestation or even wilderness.
And are mostly connected by extensive rail networks unlike primitive US cities
oerthling one problem US and Americas in general is very bad at doing cities
Half of all suburbs should be considered the greater city since you would work and play there on the weekends.
@@oerthling First of all, birthrates are declining fast worldwide. Future overpopulation is a myth. Second these "sustainable" cities you refer to are also the least efficient with tax dollars and desirability. Hey big cities are cool but despite everything people still tend to prefer suburbs (especially as they get older).

European countries invest in their cities. They provide public transportation, cobbled streets, open-air cafes, things that make people want to live in the city. We in the USA let the cities decay. Instead of using the taxes the city citizens pay, we invest in the suburbs. The cities take out bonds to provide city services, then give the big-box retailers property tax breaks. So the taxes the urban citizens pay which should be invested in city neighborhoods go to provide services for corporations that pay no property taxes. This is a crazy way to live.
So at some point employers may demand at home employees start come back to the workplace. Happened to my wife….productivity often goes DOWN when working from home
I couldn't stand living in a crowded city. I like my large modern home, and not have to fight crowds of people for a seat on a subway. I like my large yard, with all the privacy. So for me cities are no good.
The cities provides a wealth of leisures offered nowhere else except big cities. Food from every single culture, dessert, dinner and lunch. Non stop events within close proximity. I traveled all over the world. And NYC is my only choice. You get quality grade meals from Indian, Japanese, Chinese, African, Italian and Spanish. This also brings cultural supermarkets dedicated to provide quality culture specific food. Let me know when you want to enjoy food. I prefer a small place where my backyard are restaurants, pool, gym, movie, parks, museums, sightseeing... Most important part are resources to build a great business.
NYC is a great place to visit, but it's not my ideal place to live. I have nothing against cities, it's just not my way of living. People who like to live in cities are welcome to do so, if that's what they like.

There's a real thing in science called "trend analysis". The primary tenant of trend analysis is that trends DO NOT reverse themselves EVER! All trends play out to their natural logical conclusion. The Great Depression of the '30s is a wonderful example of an economic trend of the prior 43 years that resolved to a natural logical conclusion. The American economy had to be rebuilt virtually from scratch after 1932.
So what is our immediate trend
Not quite sure if you're joking or not. The only thing we can be totally certain about trends is that they don't keep on going.
@@oerthling a scientific trend is different than a fashion trend or social trend....I think...haha
@@sitdowndogbreath The immediate trend is astonishingly simple--- MORE OF THE SAME. The current economic paradigm since 1974 has been so incredibly successful for the rich that they don't dare try to change it in any way. And since the rich are in control globally, both economically AND politically, the immediate trends WILL persist. The only threat to the current status-quo is if the masses start to go hungry. If this happens the affluent will lose confidence in their systems of accumulation. This is why EBT and food lines are increasing dramatically to balance this threat. As far as Real Estate--- it is no longer a realistic market for the "middle class". The only people investing in property are the top 15% of wealth earners. In point of fact, the entire global economy is being tailored toward the top 20% of wage earners. Everyone else is simply expected NOT to be consumers in any significant way. If you can afford Real Estate, find your best buy and feel confident in your investment but, when it comes time to sell, do not expect the sale to be quick.
@@oerthling You are absolutely correct, "...they don't keep on going." All trends continue until they reach a natural end point. The Bolshevik Revolution was the only possible natural conclusion of the Tsarist form of economics that gripped Russia in the late 19th / early 20th centuries. History is replete with examples of trends that continue sometimes for generations before they are exhausted. There are many such examples in the natural world as well.

Mega Cities have been decreasing for quite some time on a multi faceted level. The biggest problems facing them now are declining birth rates and a rise in remote working capabilities, but the single biggest problem which has been happening for decades is the cost of living. As pointed out in the video a salary capable of buying a huge house in the suburbs won't even get a condo in some Mega Cities. The main attraction of Mega Cities was to young people without families as the birth rate decreases there are less young people to flock to Mega Cities. Remote working allows people to work from anywhere they wish which may/will lead those people who have families to move to areas with a more affordable cost of living. Of course that will also drive wages down as a result because if a company can pay someone half as much as you and get the same productivity they will pay the cheaper salary. For instance 200k annually in Cali won't go as far as 100k annually in Montana so a worker in Montana may be willing to do the same remote job for half the salary. That also applies Globally and the increase in remote working will likely lead to more Globalization as companies can pay workers in other countries fractions of the cost of those in their home countries.
Boston suburbs are once again seeing major upswing. Although I live in Boston-metro, and prices didn't drop a penny in my area.
People are moving out of those mega-cities not only due to pandemic and high cost of living but SAFETY, too! Living in those cities has become dangerous.

Infrastructure such as airport, bridges and roads deteriorating. Its becoming a third world nation.
The middle class had begun fleeing over ten years ago. The rich are starting to flee. The poor can’t get out.
Oregon and Washington states are on the same track to destruction as a decent place to live.
We are at the opposite side of the scale. We grew up in a small town and now our small town way of life is under attack by the city people moving in. Property prices are out of control and our small city resources are running out. Sigh.
I wanted to expand my thoughts on this previous post.
Our small town where everyone knows everyone else is under attack. The housing market shot up and is currently out of control. A house around $100,000 just a few years ago is now over $300,000 to $500,000 making it hard for our kids to purchase a house.
The local stores are not equipped to take on so many people so fast and are currently running out of goods as fast as they get them. This means a shopping trip went from a relaxing retirement stroll to a military planned operation to get what we need.
Our town in particular has it's own water and sewer treatment only designed for so many people. These two town resources are being maxed out forcing the town to implement laws like when you can use water (like watering your lawn.)
Lastly what I am finding is that people from the Big cities are moving here, but later losing their jobs. There simply are not many jobs in this area, and especially don't pay what they are used to. This leaves a lot of these people homeless as they purchased houses that they simply can't afford, and a town with out the food banks or shelters to deal with the homeless.
If I was going to make a future prediction I would say that there are a lot of people living outside their means. They purchased houses at extremely low interest rates, that are currently over valued due to the current change in economy, and these people are still living pay cheque to pay cheque. If they lose their job, or the interest rates rise like they have in the past (Thinking of the 80's), or even the housing market settles back to a more stable rate this could force most of the people onto the street.
Now I can hear the newer generation now saying that the government would never let this happen. How ever this simply is not true. It has happened many times in the past, and besides these shake ups in the economy is when millionaires are made. I come from a Banking Family, and was at a lecture where the speaker was taking about if the bank made a few small changes they could almost eliminate bankruptcies. the place erupted in to conversation, until one guy started to talk. At that moment you know who the big guy was. All he said was ,"But it's during Bankruptcies that we make most of our money!" , And with that the lecture was over...
I can see that for certain! Ask anyone who lives in California Central Valley towns and cities!
From the other side of Earth I echo your words.
Major cities in Australia have experienced housing price increases of 400-1000 %. The result of the severe population lockdown (into its 4th month) in Melbourne is a projected population fall of 10% over 3 years.
Many similar factors in USA and Australia. Friends and Allies forever!
@@lckoolg622 Thank you for sharing, that's crazy. I wonder how many other countries it's effecting.

Seems like Detroit never got that memo.
droid monkey Detroit never offered the best city life since globalization began to occur. Other cities filled up that mantle.
The retired NYC Jewish flocked to FL decades ago. Many went back to NYC. They missed the comfort of their culture.
you forgot that the tech industry has been systemically replacing American workers with Indian workers. Right now, 50% of tech workers in the area are foreign, and 90% of that are from India, on work visas.
these foreign workers only care about making money, and winning the green card lottery. Without the recently blocked bill, these Indian temporary workers would had a fast lane , bypassing country-limit quotas, and other nationals in-queue.
@@xxxdroidmonkeyxxx the problem with Detroit is that it had all its eggs in one basket. When the auto industry left it was game over.

Hot Topics!
The count down began thousands of years ago: So let us see how far we are then.
The count down of the beast kingdoms began with Babylon. Then Medes. Then Persia. Then Greece. Then Rome. All 5 beast kingdoms have fallen. Then the 6th beast king/kingdom/empire/super power arose. Are you trying to figure out who the 6th beast is yet?
Who ruled after Rome, and is still ruling the nations in some way or form today? It's Obvious. Do you know who it is now?
In biblical terms they are called kings or kingdoms. In modern terms they are referred to as empires, super-powers, or world powers.
So, after the 6th beast kingdom (super power), comes the 7th. Then, the antichrist takes precedence sometime during the 7th beast kingdom (or world super power), and he will set up his own kingdom (one world union under is technocratic-antichrist rulership), which is the 8th and FINAL world kingdom here on earth, before the return of The Alpha, and The Omega(Christ Jesus).
The antichrist will come in peace(false peace) because the entire world will be lawless and in so much chaos, and wars, and rumors of wars, famine, and pestilences(diseases), and disasters, earthquakes in diverse places. He will make peace, false peace, temporary peace. But he will be a dragon pretending to be a lamb, like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Then after his pretend- peace treaty, comes sudden destruction. The antichrist will sit in a temple thinking he is god, calling himself god, and demands that those on earth worship him and his image. He will cause anyone who will not worship him or his image to be put to death. He will be a man satan has possessed and gives demonic power to.
Did you know that satan is the illegitimate god of this earth, since he stole it from Adam with deception, in the beginning.
One day during the antichrist's rulership, our Beloved Lord and Savior, Jesus The Messiah, will make His grand entrance. What a dreadful and terrible day that will be for satan, the beast, the wicked, including the demons, and those who are found without the Lord (both those who are dead in sin and those who are alive in sin).
But that day will be a glorious and a rejoiceful day for The Lord's children(both the alive in Christ and dead in Christ).
"For The Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words." 1 Thessalonians 4 verses 16 to 18.
If you have not yet received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, please do it. Come to Christ with all your heart, mind, body, and soul. Christ is The Only Refuge out of this crazy, evil, and falling world. Let us keep our eyes, our hope, and faith in Christ alone. He is our Salvation, and the key to eternal life.
Feel free to correct me, if I am incorrect.
Most cities in the US: omg were running out of money and people are leaving by the thousands! We need help!
Detroit: **laughs**

Unfortunately it’s not most. Blue cities and states make up over 70%.
Facts are facts. Mismanagement and corruption are the culprits- DeBlassio, Cuomo and James.
Fitz the dragon
What are you talking about ????
It’s about the destruction of vibrant and prosperous places. NYC (DeBlasio & IL Duce -Cuomo) are /have negatively impacted all NYC SUBURBS and the Entire State, also North East Jersey.
Have you ever even been there? Not just for a visit. Lived, worked and not the tourist overpriced garbage attractions. A “savey NYer “ never patronizes these venues except when out of town friends/family visit and you are obligated to escort them. Waiting on long lines and paying exorbitant prices . Never believe the “I Love NY” media propaganda and street “schills”. We locals laugh at
“Scams” being perpetuated.
The whole tourist industry in NYC is
bait/switch, a con.

And now a lot of those “techies” are moving to Texas into Austin and guess what is happening in Austin?
Isn't it funny that tech is moving to Dallas and Austin, with acting and entertainment moving to Atlanta? California is losing both.
ther are a lot more "techies"?
@Destiny tran And million dollar businesses have jumped into that loophole... Disneyland (among others) for example, pay taxes like they are in 1978 when Prop 13 was passed... so NOW this is being challenged by Prop 15, businesses are ready to leave...
@@LGnLA Once those without assets find out they can steal that which is yours legally, through the ballot box they will help themselves to your wealth. Thats whats happened in California. They have killed the Goose that laid the golden egg.
@@amariongabriele9354 I feel sorry for Dallas and Austin. The prices in the neighborhood will go up but the quality of your neighbors is going to plummet. Just don't let them name anyplace "Beverly Hills."
Where I live, wages go up by about 6% every 2-3 years, but food goes up by 10-15% in that same time frame
This working from home trend is a real game changer. Companies are also running leaner. They let go a lot of people due to COVID-19 and added a few back, but are still understaffed, but are still getting by. The next change will be companies starting to get rid of some of the people that are working from home.
