Quote of the day: the ongoing story of sprawl

“The best deals in housing are usually farthest out. I don’t care if it’s Rolling Meadows in the 1950s or Schaumburg in the 1970s or now when it’s even farther out. There’s also an ongoing desire in the American people to have more space. That’s the guy going from a six-flat in Rogers Park to a single-family home in Skokie to farther north, and now he’s in Wisconsin. This is an ongoing American story.”

– Demographer Kenneth M. Johnson, quoted in today’s Chicago Tribune
