I have recently noticed a bunch of new mansions being built in queens ny near my grandmothers place and i thought it was weird but it put 2+2 together and it made perfect sense Scarsdale and Manhasset are now so overpopulated and the property taxes are so high it makes sense for the upper class to just live in the city than the suburbs and save 40k$ a year in property taxes on there 6million dollar mansion and send there kids to private school bc after all there kids will graduate and move on hopefully and taxes are forever :(  With that in mind if your in the really hot trendy central area with great property taxes than yea you'll probably be golden in 2 years but if the area is really hot but not so central with higher taxes maybe not so goldenso all in all i think take all the advice here with a grain of salt bc it may be the smarter thing to live there if you know you want to live in that area anyways and can afford to do so but at the same time you don't want to commit yourself to something that may close the door to other opportunities further down the line...good luck and be sure to let us know how everything turns out...

King County/ City of Seattle is getting over populated while growing at a record pace.

Highly over populated.

Foremen is hard to find, specially on cities that's not over populated.

The schools out there are over populated and the school district is working hard to catch up.

Overpopulation and lower housing inventory has lead to over inflation of real estate prices.

Unfortunately, they have to cull the herds regularly to keep them from over-populating.

An over populated area doesn't have the infrastructure to support negative economic fluctuations.

I do hope they catch on and w/ population increase every year, I think they will and if they don't, the over-populated society will eventually be forced to accept it...that's in the far future after I'm long gone, of course.

I've invested in town homes which has worked well so far but I see so many condos/apartments being built around the DC metro area that it has me wondering if this is the new trend or overpopulation at it's finest?
