I think this is going to be the start of another, likely irreversible, era of urban flight like we saw in the 50s and 60s.

I don’t think so. That was largely driven by the systemic destruction of public transit and the federal govt building sh*t tons of car first infrastructure. The younger generations aren’t big fans of cars in general and don’t get sucked into car culture like Boomers did.

Time will tell. Millennials are in prime reproductive years and Gen Z is entering it - we'll see if they want that lawn mower culture.

Wether they want it or not is irrelevant because for the vast majority of Millenials and Zoomers it isn’t attainable.

I think it will be flight from high CoL urban centers. Should actually be a boon for places like Baltimore. Becuase now people who want the job in Manhattan and the city life can do that job remotely in a cheaper city like Baltimore.
