Cities At Peace

NPR's Maria Hinojosa reports on a trend in some cities where, in a reverse migration, couples are moving from the suburbs and back into the cities. There, in urban solitude, people can enjoy a shorter commute, they don't have to deal with the constant sound of lawnmowers and they can take advantage of greater cultural opportunities. Hinojosa reports the some companies are also jumping on the bandwagon and returning to cities to do business.
