Here is an interesting NY Times article which discusses how U.S. cities are competing for 25 to 34 year olds, "the young and restless", to live in their city.

The article focuses on five specific cities -- Charlotte, Portland, Las Vegas, Atlanta and Austin -- and shows what they have done to attract this young, hip crowd.
