How long will this trend continue? With communicative technology ever-improving, won't we reach a certain breakpoint? A person from San Francisco that had a home could sell it and move to my Metro Detroit neighborhood and buy a much larger home, with a beautiful yard and space to boot, and then still pocket possibly a few hundred thousand dollars. The high paying, high tech jobs may not be here yet, but isn't it a matter of time before business owners in the "high rent districts" recognize the inherent value in places like Detroit?
