People are moving out of cities and heading to the suburbs. How does suburban sprawl shape the U.S. economy? Watch the full video here:

Experts say the problems of America's housing market relate to past policy decisions. In particular, they say restrictive zoning codes are limiting housing supply. These codes are based on 1930s-era Federal Housing Administration guidelines for mortgage underwriting. That includes "no sidewalks and curvy dead-end streets," according to Ben Ross, author of ''Dead End: Suburban Sprawl and the Rebirth of American Urbanism.

Ross and others believe that more must be done to manage residential real estate development. Ross lives into bring more population density to the area. The county didn't have many alternative options — 85% of build-worthy land is already developed. Strict zoning laws favoring single-family homes have limited the supply of land available for multifamily construction and hampered production of more affordable housing. With land limited for multifamily projects, the price of that land has jumped and made those projects unaffordable for builders.. Meanwhile, the cost of public infrastructure maintenance is weighing on depopulating towns across the country.

Moving out because Democrats cater to violent criminals.

Sprinting away from Dem run, procrime cities. See what's left when the tax base flees.

methinks someone's afraid of the next urban death spiral

Have you seen what’s going on in the cities.?Drive buys.kids killing kids.road rage.people running into stores and stealing and in some cases shooting at each other.Your kids can’t go to school without getting beat up everyday.

Gun sales top the charts. Defunding cops is destroying USA. BLM street writers must be held to account!

This is nothing new, US cities have always been ghettos. Aside for some small wealthy section for the ultra rich. No one actually wants to live in the city. The inhabitants are either kids or poor ppl. Those who contribute to GDP work in the cities, but live in the burbs.

If you're moving from the west coast, then continue on to the east coast and skip mid America, we don't want you here.

There is a trend you are missing. The grandchildren of people who grew up in the cities and inner suburbs are moving back there because they can’t afford the homes in suburbia. A new opportunity.

This actually increases climate change🤷‍♂️

The left has pushed people into the suburbs by approving and promoting violence and their defund the police stance. Remember this when voting. Elections matter.

LEAVE THE SUBURBS ALONE!!!

Have you tried getting an apartment in NYC ?

Nobody in their right minds are moving to suburbs

If mishandled, it can create transient communities, they seldom trend upward. They're only launching pads, and the neighborhood typically deteriorates at a rapid pace.

People want single family homes not condos and apartments it's that simple

This mean you do it on purpose , talking about the designers of the city and uscapitol You make most inner city neighborhoods poor and urban neighborhood

I'm ready to move to the suburbs

It makes amazon super happy

Had to turn the channel over to Bloomberg. Guess what? Right CNBC paid rights to broadcast Curling!!!!! CNBC is losing money on that deal and the management team who approved this need to be FIRED!!! I am so mad!

This video was posted so long ago on YouTube and after such a long time on Twitter?

The real weight is felt by nature being destroyed when we could be redeveloping whats run down where nature has already been destroyed, we have coyotes eating family pets because theyre habitat has been destroyed

And what if it is?

We just had amazing GDP growth, historicly low Unemployment. What’s the problem now? We need to live in cities?

Blame it on white people. Everything is our fault.

Cool cool. Now do 'corporate sprawl'. Let's see how bad THAT'S been for the US economy...

The browner the suburbs get the dirtier they’ll become just like the cities

The only question to ask is if it makes housing cheaper? That’s it. That’s what matters.

Not here they arent
