It's one of the major problems with society today. 

Hey James, I can't tell if this is a serious reply or not given you've zoomed out to the point where you're likely looking at ~100 sq miles of urban living here. 

I would point out that the new apartment units in the Denver Urban core being built are renting for $2.50+ per square foot.

High building costs due to the location (with nearest urban centers being at least a couple of hours away).2.

And many of these firms are hiring talent of all ages certainly, but in the area of robotics, sciences and other technology fields, a lot of young urban professionals are coming from CMU and need places to live close to these businesses.

For example Indy and Kansas City offer more suburban-style SFRs while you can get more urban MFRs in Philly and Chicago, Chicago being a higher price point than Philly.

Portland has an urban growth boundary with scheduled expansions.  

There was a HUGE thread about this several months ago.....LOTS of back and forth about the practicality, ethics and morals etc etc....Lets PLEASE leave the morality and ethics about immigrants and their role/place in our society out of it....

This might be hard to see for successful investors, but the biggest segment of our society is not doing well financially. 

@Brian Bond Regarding Germantown, on a personal level, I see that the area has a lot to offer - it's one of Philly's most historic areas and still retains a lot of that charm, it has great transportation links to center city and beyond, it's urban in character but still has some great greenery, strong (although needs improving) business corridor.
