Interesting information, given the media is constantly telling us people are moving to urban areas...

The suburbanization of America marches on. Population growth in big cities slowed for the fifth-straight year in 2016, according to new census data, while population growth accelerated in the more sprawling counties that surround them.

The Census Bureau on Thursday released population estimates for every one of the more than 3,000 counties in the U.S. I grouped those counties into six categories: urban centers of large metropolitan areas; their densely populated suburbs; their lightly populated suburbs; midsize metros; smaller metro areas; and rural counties, which are outside metro areas entirely. The fastest growth was in those lower-density suburbs.

fivethirtyeight:
"Those figures run counter to the “urban revival” narrative that has been widely discussed in recent years. That revival is real, but it has mostly been for rich, educated people in particular hyperurban neighborhoods rather than a broad-based return to city living. To be sure, college-educated millennials — at least those without school-age kids — took to the city, and better-paying jobs have shifted there, too. But other groups — older adults, families with kids in school, and people of all ages with lower incomes — either can’t afford or don’t want an urban address."

I would have missed this.
I can only SINGLE task, Fuck D & R voters.

Everyone knows the cities will be in flames inside of a year and free fire fights in cities complicate aiming.

How many illegal weapons,belt feds, are in the cities?
Molotov cocktails are illegal but easy to make. Who needs steenkin firearms when one can burn down the building
full of bullet shooters?
