We predicted this would happen: boomers moving out of suburbs and joining Gen Y in dense communities and light rail.
According to a story in The Washington Post, "Between 2000 and 2010, over a million baby boomers moved out of areas 40 to 80 miles from city centers and a similar number moved to within 5 miles of city centers, according to an analysis of 50 large cities by the real-estate brokerage Redfin."
As we have said, Boomers and Gen Yers will go to different restaurants and shows and stores downtown, but they are now fighting over the same apartments.
