The world is rapidly changing. There is an economic case against low-density sprawl. As interest rates start to rise and Federal funds start to dry up, a lot of these suburban communities will suffer as they struggle to maintain operations and maintenance expenses. The municipalities with the higher tax bases will be okay.

Do city limits matter? They do when it comes to municipal budgets and services.

I'm also wondering if there will be a greater push towards online education that came into play during the pandemic. Will there be a need for less physical space as families become smaller (seriously, who has money to raise a kid these days and still have a life), and that online education can be provided at a much better price. Will it be for everyone? No, but may be a better option than some of the shithole schools out there in some poor communities.
