All true (as far as I know). The modern city has always exhibited a concentric price differential, but in certain metropolitan areas, prohibitive costs may extend beyond the reaches of public transport. That causes major grief for a majority of income brackets. And the rate of change is equally troublesome. When a neighborhood rapidly gentrifies (which is not always easy to predict), working class and middle-income families must scramble to make ends meet, or they’re forced to relocate. Looking to the future, I’d like to see thoughtful urban design for a universal high standard of living coupled with plans for maintaining homeostasis and responsive city leadership.
