  • Description: The new pattern, roughly one of concentric circles, entailed a central business district surrounded by a mix of industrial sites and poor housing, then a band of working-class districts, all surrounded by middle-class and elite suburbs. Hoboken is closer to Wall Street than Queens is, but, administratively, Queens is considered part of the city. [...]the city boom is happening in some regions (especially the Pacific Coast) more than in others (the Heartland), and the Great Recession sent a slew of young people back home. Today, houses near downtown are often luxury goods. Since the early 2000s, more poor Americans live in suburbs than in cities, a mounting trend.
