      As it turns out, the abondment of the city core is a natural progression of city development. Here I point to a wonderful book: https://www.amazon.com/Sprawl-Compact-History-Robert-Bruegmann/dp/0226076911 …

      Building on the existing concentric circle theory, he showed, through the history of much older cities than North America has, he showed this natural progression. Eventually, though, the city center becomes the wealthiest part (think Paris's Latin quarter, a dump 100 years ago)

      Now, to smaller and greater effect, this is happening to nearly every American city (even as it drives out the middle classes). Chicago, still losing population, has completely transformed with 100ks of people living downtown that it didn't have 15 years ago and

      is now the most educated city (college grads) among large cities in the country. A complete inversion of 30 years ago.

      It's been fascinating to watch, especially as the change spreads organically

      There's been cranes omnipresent in the ATL skyline for fifty years, there's always a new skyscraper going up, shiny new office buildings and condos, downtown and midtown getting upgraded block by block... but never more than 100 yards from someplace you don't want to be at night.

      ... but the pockets are getting bigger. Huge new planned urban developments, mixed use, walkable, high-end shops, wide streets, good lighting, all that stuff under one umbrella project name (see "Atlantic Station") on a piece of downtown property large enough to push others out.

      Meanwhile the suburbs keep getting more suburban, more bigger, more further away. Downtown has been under perpetual construction, getting taller and denser and shinier, but the suburbs have been spreading out like kudzu on an abandoned farm.

      There's always a new subdivision under construction just down the road a piece, always a new Starbucks, always a new dentist's office next to the Jimmy John's. And they're always nice. And affordable. And an hour commute to get downtown, god forbid you have to go there.

      interestingly, I am ~1 hour outside the Boston suburbs, and 1.25 hours outside Boston itself

          is the "nuclear" refer to payload, or trebuchet mechanism? bc if the latter, I think, no, it's within (I'm thinking steam generators ; I KNOW A GUY )

          I'm always surprised to (re)discover how close together all the stuff in the Northeast is, like there's multiple different states that are all just suburbs of New York or whatever Down here our closest "other place" neighbors are a comfortable several hours away.

          time distance is the same, though - takes us just as long to drive somewhere close by, due to density, and urban planning by 17th century cows, etc
