"Nobody I know voted for Nixon."

Many cities have been losing population for a while, regardless of your intimate knowledge of what other people do or don't feel. Incredulity isn't really much of a solution if you want to address issues that people might have.

Somebody ought to tell the people trying to solve a housing shortage that depopulation is the real problem.

I think it’s worth noting “cities that are losing population” and “cities that have underdeveloped public transportation” correlate closely.
