  I decided to promote Froma Harrop on is blog because I admire her column along with Esther Cepeda is another of my favorite columnists. They write really articulate  subjects that are fresh and important. Froma wrote a couple of great columns recently about how young people are opting out of polluting automobiles and young professionals are more likely to be seen on public transportation in urban areas instead of driving cars stuck in traffic. She writes how young people love technology and on a train can do things they could not on a really stressful hour or more commute to work. This is someone the old fucks and truck addicted blue collar immigrants can't seem to comprehended in the burbs. Car companies realize and have leads moved on to the emerging markets of course most will never drive to the extent that the American market produced during years of cheap gushing oil.

    Froma also wrote the following week about e story of childless people in trig cities. She takes on the cultural conservatives obsessions with the politics of the emerging individual and their move away from the family dominate  country sides. People move to the cities for more reasons than entertainment. They move to get away from the old conservatives that strive to make their family friendly villages as unfriendly to singles and young adults without children. The people in the suburbs are all about the private and their large homes and rarely venture off their domains until they have to restock their home shelves with the shelves of cheap Chinese made junk son Wal Mart's shelves. People who move and reside in cities do not find entertainment like those outside cities in strolling he lanes at big box stores. Froma says city writers such as Joel Kotkin and Ali mod areas need not worry that cities without children are not sustainable and intact the question is if the surrounding large suburban areas are sustainable as the baby boomers start dying off. As Froma points out the stereotype of urban liberals being immature, anti-child, and self-celebrating is the real obsession with the culture of young people in the cities. They just do not share the values and antique morals of their grandparents whose generation celebrated the power of family and control over all aspects of their children's lives. This is the main reason for the growth of our cities in recent years and the new emerging cultural changing landscape of people moving back to the cities and this some just cannot deal with accepting.
