What about all the people who hate farmer's markets, organic groceries, botanical gardens, bike trails, beautiful parks, good food, live music, and trees? I think NWA is more likely to experience "poor flight" to it's smaller outlying areas in the coming years


Pretty much. And for a lot of people and longtime locals it is nicer to be out on the fringe of what is becoming a legit metro. I don't think Fayetteville is a bustling, traffic-heavy headache like some make it out to be but it is nice to have some land and live in a quiet place like P Grove or Elkins or Goshen while going to town when you need to.

Calling any of this* "white flight" is just dumb

*eta - or any growth of these outlying towns in the near future

Actually, I have kin who live up there. They moved to Rogers back 20+ years ago, then moved out to some little community out there, may be Bethel something, I forget.
But they hate what NWA has become, as compared to what it used to be. Used to think it was heaven. Not so much anymore. Everything that was beautiful is being built on instead.
