We had a shift from moving out on your own by 21 to moving out on your own by 26, this would cause a 5 year dip in the amount of renters available and i think now its starting to catch back up.

But if it's predicted that Cities will continue to grow as people move towards cities, then it only follows that other places may have a decrease in their population.Combine a loss of Driver type jobs, Manufacturing jobs, and a migration towards Mega Cities, and I think you get a good picture of which areas seem to be a good place to invest for the future.Combine that with Climate Change, then all of a sudden, Cities that are predicted to be Mega Cities, may have to shift to inland, since most of the Mega Cities are coastal.The point here is that there should be concern on where to invest, if only for Asset protection. 

We live in a mobile society - I've worked with Oracle DBA's that live on farms 2 hours away from the city, I work with people that live thousands of miles away in other countries (Ireland, India, etc.).It's all about wanting to make it happen....having the "testicular fortitude" to take the steps to buy that house and live on your own independently.Then again, if I can make $80k per year as an Oracle DBA and still sponge off Mom and Dad, then why not?

I drove that day and managed to cover 200 miles in my 10 HR shift.
