I find it laughable that the one thing that is not mentioned here also doesn't get the spotlight it deserves, in the article: Good Schools.

Suburbia wins because Cities suck at providing safe environments for children. Particularly schools are one symptom of this and thus the best way to make sense of land-value in and around cities across the west is the proximity to proper schools.

I suppose the reason that city schools are dangerous for children is mostly because of the children in those schools. That's not a vox appropriate conversation.

"Good schools" probably wasn't mentioned because it's a dog whistle.

The nice thing about the concept of "dog whistles" is that believing in it is a clear marker of toxic persons.
