b/c they're not just filling up the inner cities. they're also pushing even further out into the boonies.
like in STL. the slumburbs thing is real in North St. Louis County (see: Ferguson and Berkeley). and some parts of the city are gentrifying w/white influx. but the western communities in St. Charles County are also gaining in population. parts of St. Charles County that were farmland and prairie 10 yrs ago are now full of strip malls and townhome developments and detached single family home subdivisions. the state has built 2 new bridges across the Missouri River to increase access out there. it's exploding - and faster than the city is being gentrified, i suspect.
i wonder where else that's going on.
