Alberta Conference: Jonathan David

American Economy Dept: Speakers at the Urban Development Institute Alberta conference recently in Edmonton said homes filled with grandparents and adult children and their kids will be more commonplace, according to Calgary Herald. Miller said the new North American economy is shedding highly paid manufacturing jobs and creating new ones in lower-paid sectors such as retail and temporary services and North Americans are carrying more personal debt and north American homes will increasingly house multi-generational families as affordability wanes and cultural attitudes and demographics shift. "We're heading back to the Waltons," said Jonathan David Miller, a New York-based real estate analyst. "We're going to see more of that and we're going to see people living more in smaller places." As reported in the news.
