The pandemic hasn’t just brought with it economic turmoil; it has also highlighted a trend of people fleeing U.S. cities in favor of the suburbs. The exodus has been helped along by liberal politicians embracing a “defund the police” message in the cities where policing is needed the most – like Chicago, which we have documented – making the decision to leave cities much easier for many people.
But surprisingly, the wheels were already in motion for this trend prior to the pandemic, a new report from Bloomberg notes.
