"Americans continue their march away from congested and costly areas halfway through the decade, settling in more remote counties even if it means longer commutes, according to Census population estimates released Thursday................."

It looks like a lot of people just don't want to live in the high density utopia the central planners of the left want to force them into.

Well apparently someone wants to live there, otherwise it wouldn't be costly.

Why isn't there more new urbanism

All Americans or just the white ones fleeing blacks moving into the once all white suburbs? The article doesn't show the racial breakdown of those moving. It looks like the middle class blacks are moving into the suburbs and the former white inhabitants of the suburbs are fleeing to the remote towns and villages.

Proponent of the auto-sprawl lobby lamenting the supposed onslaught of central planning? That's rich. The government pays people well to make these kinds of bad decisions. Check your tax return.
