I think an interesting follow-up would be seeing whether any insights garnered from his induction can be applied presciptively to cities that he thinks are on the down and out. Here I think specifically of St. Louis only because that is where I lived. Are there things that leadership of the city can do to break of the somewhat 'deterministic' structural characteristics that point it to failure in Florida's argument? pb David

Doesn't it follow that people who don't have a traditional job have to do other stuff to keep themselves occupied/keep their brains ticking over/raise some cash? Doesn't it also follow that economies are stronger when they are diversified? Doh. Better to look to Florida for a sun tan than searing insight.

For example, he gives the example of detroit which dropped economically, but is still something like the 12th largest city in the country. Thus, I don't know if people are going to quickly move back to the city as soon as gas prices go up... just as we see the transition to fuel efficient vehicles has been similarly slow. yeah. i think there is a lot to say for his argument of suburban decline… but notice earlier in the argument that he said decline happens quicker than population drop.
