One pet peeve of mine when talking about metros is people missing that rural people have been moving to the 'burbs for 80 years now. Simplistic stories about white flight don't tell the whole story.https://twitter.com/ElamBend/status/1422549194594717701 …
Replying to @ElamBend
I remember reading an article 10 or 20 years ago about how some rural states (Iowa, N Dakota, etc.) were seeing population flat or slightly climbing, while countryside was emptying. People stayed in state, but 4,000 person towns -> 1,000, while suburbs grew.
