There’s a sad vicious cycle in American cities: Young people drawn by the culture and opportunity of city life move-in in droves, and developers build lots of apartments for these people. This population influx leads to thriving, revitalized cities. But instead of getting married, starting families, and building roots to continue growing in the very cities they moved into, many young adults delayed family formation, and when they do have children, they move out.
It’s a tragedy: cities attract a generation in their 20s, only to watch their children disappear from the census rolls.
