US Cities Getting Old

Plenty of children are playing in Central Park, but they were none in downtown Providence the other day and like many other cities in the in the USA the dead outnumber the born. This fact was brilliantly portrayed in the English film CHILDREN OF GOD which depicts a world without birth, but no one is prepared for the de-population of the world, considering the current prediction of 9 billion people by 2050. Of course this neglects that the Mayan cosmos is supposed to come to an end on December 24, 2012, but who cares what the cross-eyed inhabitants of the Yucatan peninsula think?

So de-population of our cities?

Who wants to live in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, or Providence?

Only the old who don't like change other than the change of the seasons.

This phenomena runs deep in Thailand, where young people leave the rice villages for the cities and none of them are saying they're coming back either. I certainly ain't gonna live in Pittsburgh, because I'm a Boston Bruins fan and hate the Steelers too.
