To the Point
The Decline of Suburbia For more than 50 years, Americans were drawn to the suburbs, with their sylvan promises of easy living.

Real estate is more valuable there, and even big box retailers are setting up shop downtown. Is this just a Sex and the City trend or is it really goodbye for good to Ozzie and Harriet?
