the thing is that the generational waves are actually backing into cities, if that makes any sense.

I'm an X'er (44) and inner cities were still hit and miss in most areas and just started gentrifying when we were hitting it out on our own in our early 20's. Much different climate a few years later when the Millennials were coming into their own. When I was 20, NYC was still pretty much a dump, by the time the a Millennial hit 20, it was a very different city.
