out of all of the counties in mississippi, the one that shifted the most towards the democrats is: desoto county! (3rd largest in the state)
this likely has a lot to do with memphis suburbanization

Yeah I think if NYC and LA build a lot of housing in the next decade that basically starts a timer for every other city in the country to either dramatically improve its governance and infrastructure programs or see early suburbanization levels of affluent professional exit.

The median voter has beliefs not unlike those of an isolated yet powerful petty aristocrat in ancien-regime France or imperial England. Consequence of suburbanization I suppose

the rurals were less polarized than usual this year, but I don't think you can extrapolate that to a presidential year. investment is important, but long-term urbanization/suburbanization and demographic change was also a huge piece of the puzzle in georgia and louisiana/mississippi don't have that.

Caveat that at least some of this suburbanization is attributable to the ending of redlining and corresponding white flight.

The narrative is easily disproven with facts and context about suburbanization in the US. Suburbs predate cars! But the conservative narrative of "the suburbs" is inseparable from "the inner city," the anti-suburb. The Taylors's urban project is doomed, in other words.

One of the most interesting articles on the rust belt phenomenon I have seen is this: archive.strongtowns.org/journal/2020...
Only indirectly related to housing supply but as you mentioned the rust belt I wanted to bring it up in case you hadn't seen it.

You Can't Understand the Rust Belt Without Understanding Its Suburbanization
The real story of the Rust Belt is not simply one of deindustrialization or decline. To miss that is to also to miss the way forward to greater strength and resilience.

Very revealing gas-up of Matthew Taylor, the conceptual artist leading the Garden of American Heroes project.
It is a false narrative that crime drove suburbanization, especially white flight. It contributed in the 60s, but you can argue that said crime resulted from abandonment

Big Oil combined with rapid suburbanization, along with better roads and wages allowing people to travel further for pleasure.
Gasoline transportation and storage became cheaper than building out the EV infrastructure that was easy to do in big cities.

WFH levels likely create some bias here.That’s still job sprawl, in a spatial sense, but it implies different policy questions than more conventional suburbanization of employment.

The voter-approved 1946 modernization plan helped speed Muni's rapid transition away from streetcars to buses. But as car ownership rapidly grew after postwar rationing of gasoline and automotive products were lifted and suburbanization took off, Muni ridership dropped nearly 40% from 1945 to 1960

no yeah i think there's an element of whiteness-as-solipsism, and of class (not in the vulgar marxist sense but in the lived sense), insofar as the whole deal seems downstream of the post-war project of suburbanization

I think part of this has to do with both states attracting educated professionals and suburbanization spreading those voters out more.

When suburbanization exploded nationwide, the ratio of people per square foot was still very high.
It only started to come down after 1980, when the youngest boomers graduated and left home.

I also think car culture and suburbanization contributes to this. (I’m nothing if not predictable.) It’s more isolating and just overall contributes to a less communitarian mindset.

IMO this chart misses out on suburbanization within the Cedar Rapids metro area before the current private school shenanigans, but nevertheless, adding this on too -- www.npr.org/2026/04/19/n...

Sadly and somewhat similar, Americans love excessively big homes in the suburbs even though they can’t afford them. We should also make those unsustainable homes even more costly - for example, by stopping subsidies to suburbanization
People won't voluntarily give up their Kid-Crusher 5000s unless we make driving them considerably more costly and inconvenient, which is precisely what we should do.
turns out GM was right, Americans piss and moan that there aren’t any cheap EVs but they will not buy them if you make one www.motortrend.com/news/2027-ch...
