> Most Americans grow up in low density suburbs, move to hyper dense college towns for college, get a job in ultra dense cities
Misleading if not factually wrong. [1] Just because some people move away to join cities, does not mean that most people do. If anything, in the last 20 years, that trend is reversing and more 18-24 year olds are living in suburbs than before.
And my humble guess is that this trend is the same in every country that has urban centers with greater economic opportunities than the suburbs. And people move away from the cities to start a family because it's less expensive to do so. No psychology required, it's just economics.
