- I agree with the trend, but just wondering how do you get the data in "In the past three years, projects with apartments, condos and town homes increased 533 percent, while the number of subdivisions with large homes dropped 21 percent"? Can you share the sources of supporting statistics? Thanks!

- You don't live in the Suburbs because you "think your better than everyone else" You do it because, you want to own a nice, new/fresh home. So NO, "Suburbians" don't deserve what happened/happening. And have you seen the unemployment rate? My mom lost her job just months after this. And Money isn't the only problem, lets not mention having to work so many hours, you never get to see your kids, and the stress.

- A lot of people in this forum worry that if they work remotely, management will decide to outsource their job. Hey, if managment wants to outsource, they are going to do it whether you work remotely or in a corporate office.
Working remotely should be embraced by managers and staff alike. One thing you can be sure of is that management does not want to outsource themselves, and they can work remotely just as easily as their staff.
The main thing for workers to do is work as efficiently and productively as possible. That is the best way to keep from being outsourced.
In a lot of cases, the most efficient way to work is from a remote office. Remote Office Centers lease individual offices, internet and phone systems to workers from multiple companies in shared centers located around the suburbs. There is a free web site where people can go to find Remote Office Centers near where they live:

It is too expensive to move from the suburbs back to the city. It is easier and more efficient to move the office to the suburbs. That is what Remote Office Centers do. - Reply to this comment
- I grew up in the sticks rural small towns in Maine where everybody knows everybody. That I miss. But they are wonderful if ye can have yer own place,farm,grow yer food and those who don''t have sp needs can live and do.
It is not right they jack every thing up. It is greed. Ye can''t find a rent in Seattle under 650 a month and if so the class of people are drinkers/partyers. We are on fixed incomes and 50+. - Reply to this comment

- I hope Suburbia dies a quick death and does it quietly. It is a long over due death! Long live small town and rural America!

- i did not want to bring a child into the world that might be handicapped and I am a sp needs adult. So some think of others and if it would be fair to a child that suffers and won''t have a good life in the process. I am childless as that was the right thing for me. I am a Manier and we have always called the govt the nanny govt. It has nothing to do with the parties we we need to belong to in order to vote in the primary. Yes rents are sky high. 2 or have to be room-mates and pay their part,

So what you''re saying is, suburbia is disappearing because the MIDDLE CLASS IS DISAPPEARING.
Everyone is getting either VERY RICH ("boatloads of money") or VERY POOR.
BTW, exactly WHERE ARE THOSE BOATLOADS OF MONEY COMING FROM??? The can''t all be outsource managers.
