5/6 Similarly, I show that the relationship between changes in density and changes in inequality is higher when commute times also rise, as well as that changes in density are related to changes in commuting inequality.
Very excited to have this out in EPA! It's become a popular notion that the high cost-of-living in "superstar" US cities is displacing low socioeconomic status (SES) and other historically marginalized households inter-regionally into entirely new 1/

curb this out-migration should focus on improving middle-income employment opportunities in these places along with reducing cost-of-living.
