Abstract
America may be in for a rude awakening over the next few decades. The Baby Boomers came into their own during the 1980s through the 2000s. Their affluence and need for space was matched by developers who provided low-cost products across America’s landscape. Boomers accounted for about three-quarters of the demand for all new housing during this period, and America became a truly suburban nation.
