It’s worth noting that it’s unclear whether or not this is a generational preference for the suburbs, or rather a result of a lack of suburban-equivalent amenities for families like safe parks, good, not-overcrowded schools, and available daycare options. Not to mention a lack of housing at the 2+ bedroom size.

It’s still a reversal of the ‘60s and ‘70s where the cities were being abandoned wholesale.

It's also nowhere near anything TFA says.

What he says is that where people want to live is not very gaussianly (normal) distributed, but there is a peak for major urban centers (LA, NY, SF), and a large plateau of smaller places.
