The Great Question of Our Time - How Far Can People Move Away?

If central business areas are going to decline, and therefore people have more flexibility about where they live, that theoretically housing ces wouldn't have to rise so much. This is the great question of our time, which is, how far can people move away? And if they do move away, what productivity levels will they have? There's plenty of relatively inexpensive metropolitan areas in the united states right now - detroit, milwaukee, columbus. I think it'll be a real strain on new york city's finances, for example.
