83% of Americans are living in urban areas, so uh, what?
King-Of-Rats t1_j9u2g64 wrote
well, 1, that’s nearly 20% of people able to afford a home much more easily. And 2. Please look at the definition of urban under whatever source you’re getting that figure from and relay it to me

Are you dumb or something. I asked for how your source (and in this case, your sources source) defines “urban populations”.

I'm not going to read it for you. You asked for the source. There you go.
King-Of-Rats t1_j9vdsm2 wrote
No I didn’t you fucking idiot lmao. I asked how they defined “urban“ within your source and you’re too brain dead to both comprehend me and also to know that your source is referencing yet another one - which you haven’t read.

Youre a moron who just googled for the fastest article they could get to support your point without having any clue what you’re talking about. The world is worse for you being on it. May god have mercy on your parents for they must live with the guilt of your existence

Hence the migration pattern the last couple years with people leaving the cities.
Cities are too expensive regardless of race.

The 2050 figure is 89%. I don't see people moving out of cities, just into smaller, cheaper ones. I'd be willing to bet that the result of that will be the urbanization of more almost-suburban areas in the future--more cities, rather than people living outside of one.

Possibly. Small Modular Reactors and Automated delivery systems could offset that.
Cost will be a limiting factor. Cities get exponentially more expensive as they build 'upwards' not just in dollar terms but also resource.

I think a lot of this depends on if we ever actually get decent public transport like more trains.

In the 15 minute cities, sure. But out beyond?
Very unrealistic. How many billions will it cost City A with population 7,000 to City B population 2500 30 miles away?
At best, IMO, electric vehicles inside the big cities, hybrids and ICE out in the boonies.
