Suburbia Dead?....not cool

For many years I have been predicting that these big homes in the suburbs will be an anchor around our necks in the years to come.  I based my opinion on the demographic shift of the baby boomers.  This morning I read an article that added to my concern.  The interesting thing is, is that the article does not even bring up the boomer bubble.  It's completely focused on the economy and long term energy prospects.  I think the author missed out on an interesting point.

Me....the second the kids are off to college, I want to sell the beast and move close to the city....or live on the beach.  Denise wants the conventional grandma's home....where there is always a place to come and visit.  I think we will always need to work to pay for just the upkeep and taxes on this place.

I can only hope that when we do move to that stage of our lives, that we do have all those visitors....and that we are not the only people that live on our street.
