^ This. I wouldn't trust a word Kotkin says. He dislikes big, liberal cities as 202_Cyclist stated, and he has made a career out of trying to prove that everyone else feels the same way.
He claims that the majority of Americans prefer to live in the suburbs, but if you look at his methodology, he is basically labeling everything that's not part of a central business district as 'suburbs'.
