Just a consideration at playing a contrarian strategy, if everyone is thinking of investing in the sun belt burbs - perhaps inner city Midwest and the potential for gentrification are under appreciated strategies.I agree that mid west is overpopulated in that sense, but thats the way it is and the way the country developed, and the future population growth is not going to leave these cities empty.

What I know is that your crazy area “planners” had 3 too many Old Milwaukee’s after a Packer game and decided that they didn’t need any zoning to prevent the over population of multi-family homes.

@Terry LaoMy experience has been that many people from China have been so used to survival mode due to over-population that they just want to get theirs before someone else gets it.

Is it purely over population?

As long as people feel that CA is overpopulated/crowded, restrictive, dangerous, or whatever reason people have for leaving, and as long people feel that they can have a higher quality of life that works for them in Boise, Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, AZ, LV, TX, etc. then we're going to continue to see these markets have a large influx of California transplants.And just so you aren't getting me wrong, this is not a knock on CA (I've lived there for a couple years before and loved it - beaches, Disneyland, cool cities, mountains, sunsets, redwood forests, it's amazing and I can see why so many people live there!)

Fort Mill schools are increasingly becoming over populated....they cannot keep up with the growth of the area (hense SO MANY new HOA neighborhoods instead of a greater mix).

Yes, Milwaukee is a great city, but the inner city is overpopulated with dispair.

You'll most certainly have to look in the outskirts of town in developing master planned communities if you want schools that are not already heavily over populated.

Technological advances today are solely for the sake of sales.A 5 year time line is nothing in the over all scheme of things.The biggest problem in the world and the route cause of all problems is overpopulation.

In the year 2016, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in America and said: "Once again, the earth has become wicked and overpopulated, and I see the end of all flesh before me.”
