Not really. The reasons are as dynamic and varying as individual are.
Many move for the reasons you say. Some move for lower costs as was said before. Many admit to their me that they move to the 'burbs (like even in MN!) just so they can be away from blacks and Hispanics.
I personally hate the city (and I'm a native new yorker) and prefer the burbs for lower cost of living, and slower pace and relative safety. Oh yeah and I cant afford to live in the city. Hell I cant live in the whole Northeast!

Lets not get crazy. Theres no need to flame the guy. We need a balance of both to be able to keep from going to the extremes of either end. Who says you have to be a socialist to be a democrat? Oh yeah, a republican!
