Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 285155, member: 780"] Demographics don't continue on in the same direction forever. The migration of so many northerners to the South could taper off significantly or even reverse itself. Sometimes the pendulum swings back in the other direction. Years ago --- in the 1980's --- I spent a lot of time in North Carolina. Raleigh was a great place. A small, clean town with low real estate prices and plentiful employment in clean industries. When I go there today I can't tell the place from the traffic-choked roads of Northern Virginia. And the cheaper real estate is now in the North. If the US were to figure out a way to reinvigorate manufacturing, cities like Chigao and Detroit and Pittsburgh might make a further comeback. Curves don't continue on on the same direction and the same rate forevver. Just ask the people in Arizona ... which will soon be out of water. [/QUOTE]
