Back To The City

"Cities including Chicago, Miami, and Seattle managed to add wealth, jobs, and population at a faster clip than their outlying suburbs, according to a report released yesterday. Las Vegas – the only major US metro area where the average resident actually earns more in the city than in the suburbs – saw its lead increase during the '90s.While it's too early to tell whether such turnarounds represent a long-term trend, they do suggest that major cities need not suffer relative decline. What they need, demographers say, is to build on their strong points."
