But urban sprawl is not the issue.  Urban cost is.

Already, as the first Baby Busters are becoming eligible for Social Security, they do not feel "entitled" to remain in hyperexpensive cities like New York and San Francisco, where "aging '60s progressives" (the term that the local media in San Francisco actually uses to denote them) are largely staying put.

Instead, they are turning up in such places as Fargo and even Wahpeton, both in North Dakota, and Yankton, South Dakota (home of the now defunct Yankton College, where the late Lyle Alzado played football).  Those with more conservative cultural tastes are gravitating toward such locales as Joplin, Missouri.
"These, and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation" - Justice David Brewer, Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States, 1892
