[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 834543, member: 986"] I'm a native Chicagoan and still have family there. [USER=50197]@Clovishound[/USER] Chicago has actually had population growth the last two years with the building trend accelerating. My oldest bought a condo (for way too much money IMO) literally in the center of the Loop, wound up getting a job offer to relocate after just under 2 years, and sold it at a >10% profit. I live west of Philadelphia now in the suburbs. The small towns (boroughs in the local vernacular) can't build fast enough. Interestingly, there was a recent discussion in the Philadelphia Inquirer that the percentage of renters has now become the majority of residents ([URL='https://www.inquirer.com/real-estate/housing/king-of-prussia-renters-homeowner-suburbs-20250707.html']link[/URL]). The analysis I read attributed it to the high entry cost of first time home purchase and seniors downsizing to rentals for more mobility. I'd love to see more manufacturing in the US but we need to change the mindset of younger workers to consider manufacturing and the trades. The NY Times literally just did an expose on this exact issue a couple weeks ago. A link to the story without the paywall is [URL='https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/23/business/factory-jobs-workers-trump.html?unlocked_article_code=1.VU8.qSo0.Q7tNpYqMWtGy&smid=url-share']here[/URL]. It's a good read. [/QUOTE]
