Americans are fleeing 20 large urban areas and, as they do, their places are often being taken by immigrants seeking low wage service jobs. See a Bloomberg story for more.
High housing costs drive middle class Americans away while immigrants utilize "creative housing arrangements" involving several families in one apartment or living in a converted garage (common in SoCal).
This sort of population flow drives urban planners crazy. They want us all to live in densely packed corridors along public transportation lines.
Doesn't that sound dreadful? Autos rule, urban planners drool....
