to live, and others follow. During the middle to latter part of the twentieth century, in Brooklyn, New York, there was a phenomenon called black flight/white flight. As African Americans
moved up, and into white neighborhoods, white people moved out. Today, the racial dynamic is a bit different, but the fact is that people are on the move. When there
is a region that is desirable, population can grow exponentially. The student points out that while New York is growing, its residents have a stake in the region, but this

perhaps will take the profit when their real estate prices increase. One can see that a different mentality exists in boomburbs than in the ordinary city or suburb. Yet, cities
