I was thrilled to see the story in the La Crosse Tribune, this morning, about the high, or should I say, RED HOT demand for downtown housing in La Crosse. The lofts, in the old buildings, are getting rented before the owners can get them ready. And, where the people want to be, the businesses are sure to follow.
This has been the trend for several years in the big and medium sized cities around the country. Gone are the days when people want to live in the country, on a couple of acres...with all the headaches, work, driving and cost that goes with it.
The people that moved to the country, early, had a great life of quiet and room to spread out. But when everyone decides they want to follow you, you're no longer in the country. Your in a sub-division with the traffic, the noise, the zoning, the crime and all the rest of it that you were trying to get rid of when you moved to the country.
You know the old story. "What goes around, comes around". The "smart" place to be was in the country. Now, we're back to "The smart place to be is in the city".
