We hear about the Millennials and their unique wants. Do we believe what we read and hear? Are we actually developing different work, home and lodging spaces? For the investor, are the risks and returns appropriate for a different physical product? How important are services and amenities? Are "urban" and "transit oriented" and "sustainable" and "co-work" fads or permanent?
