Henry Ellis
These areas (first suburbs) are in a policy blind spot.
Robert Puentes
Over the last 10 years, we've seen a fairly significant core of the population spending more than half the value of their home on improvements.

Michael Mcdonald
Joe has a solid, tough, gritty, working-class tribe behind him. It may look like a motley crew to the college-degree ladies in the leafy suburbs, but you would not want to go to war against the Joe Kennedy coalition.
David Nyhan
I think you can totally be a totally normal kid from the suburbs of Chicago and go off and play shows.

Patrick Stump

Robert Puentes
We didn't do a good job of getting Rush open on that final play. We forgot we have the best shooter in the south suburbs and we didn't set a screen for him. We didn't do very many good things at the end.

In one sense, these exurbs are just suburbs that take a longer time to drive to. With these, white flight has nothing to do with it. It's all housing prices. The makeup of these communities is a reflection of who's migrating, and that's people who have enough money to be middle class.
John Husing

Atsushi Nakajima
What triggered it was the attack against the trains in the Madrid suburbs.

Suburbs rarely, if ever, have poor people, and neither do these. It's not true diversity.
