House hunters is actually a completely fake show. You literally have to have already bought the house to qualify to be on the show, and the other houses are houses you need to find yourself. That's why there are never " For Sale" signs in the yards. The other houses usually belong to friends or family.
It’s relative I suppose- but “most people don’t live in the middle of a big city..” is hard to reconcile. A city is usually “big” or “small” based on population that.. lives there. A good deal of people might not live in the industrial, commerce, or tourist centers of a big city- but looking at population maps the majority of people on earth live in crowded urban environments- Australia being an exaggerated example where most of the population lives along the cost and the majority of land mass is relatively uninhibited. That’s part of American political unrest- over 39% of the US population lives directly adjacent to coast line- with populations inland tending to reduce with distance.
A majority of national populations tend to live within population centers in developed nations. That’s where maximum economic opportunity tends to be- population centers. There also tends to be great differences in lifestyle and hence values and relevant issues between denser and less dense population areas- which means that we encounter situations where a majority of people have a certain lifestyle but a still very large number of people have a different lifestyle- and ones decisions effect the other.
But total size of an area also plays in because population density among other things impacts economic potential and life style. For instance California has about 10 million more people than Texas but almost twice the GDP. Texas is second most populated state- but the 4th most populated state (Illinois) makes about half its GDP, and New York (third most populated) makes almost the GDP of Texas. This makes it hard to compare relevance between the states as far as housing markets go. Someone earning half as mush in a non competitive market with low housing costs may have a far easier time finding a property than someone living in a population dense area making 2x as much in a competitive market-
But amongst millennials most of the most popular careers are ones that by default lead them to population dense areas. Some of the top jobs for millennials are things like statisticians, web developers, business analysts, film/television edition and post production work, market research, advertising and promotions. Now- a tip job in the demographic is bar tender- and those are everywhere- but most career bartenders are going to aim for a place where they can maximize their income which pushes them towards population centers with high discretionary income. Paramedics and firefighters are another top millennial occupation. Those can be anywhere- but again- concentration of these jobs is favored by higher population areas.
@funkmasterrx well then you owe 16 years of royalties and don’t think we’re going to forget to collect. You’ve been issued a cease-and desist, and I’m going to have to insist you desist. Stahp.
@guest Dude.... I gave her those eyes.
