Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:
- By studying population trends and forecasting models, researchers have come to believe that nearly 15,000 U.S. cities will face noticeable depopulation by 2100.
- Populated areas of the cities in question could experience a decline of up to 44 percent.
- Projections call for the biggest drops in city populations to occur in the Northeast and Midwest.
“If thing is done right, everything works fine!”
The problem is, no one can agree what “right” is, so it never works.
If you do less dense “right” it should work, too.
There’s certainly wrong ways to do anything, but I don’t think there’s a right way to make “less dense” handle “more people want to live here.” Those are just opposites.
