Urban dwellers are becoming the majority

Wendy Waters' post details the trek from farm living to urban dwelling.

Five trends she has noticed,

  • The widespread daily $5 Latte habit
  • Dozens of people sitting in a cafe, all texting on their cel phones but not talking to each other
  • Ordinary people having personal trainers
  • How busy a restaurant patio is on a warm day, with both men and women (in the 1950s these people would all have 4 kids at home)
