I disagree with the premise that the OOT communities are generally being emptied out in Lakewood. Those that are thriving and used to be considered OOT have now reached “mid-town” level. Cleveland, Chicago, Baltimore, South Florida, Waterbury, Dallas, Atlanta etc. are not loosing most of their families to Lakewood, but are instead growing and thriving. Places like Omaha, Harrisburg, West Hartford, Kansas City etc. may not be thriving, but their families are not picking up and moving to Lakewood.
Perhaps the main community that is draining into Lakewood is Brooklyn, which perhaps could now be classified as OOT….
