In case you haven' seen it, Topretirements picked up on a recent Atlantic Monthly article in which 2 college professors predict that America's suburbs could become the slums of the future. And TR went on from there to recommend that suburb-living baby boomers head for the exits now, even in 2008's real estate turmoil, selling those homes and buying into retirement communities.

totally agree- the suburbs are over developed, houses are too large, poorly built and the owners who purchased over their heads have no intention of doing the maintenance. The greedy builders and bankers have ruined the landscape with these massive developments. Shame on them all.
