It's been shown that the (polled) youth of today doesn't rank car ownership highly in general.

Part of this is their age- money is tight. Part of this is their world- social media makes their world smaller. part of this is job market trend- an influx of positions in cities. Part oif this is lifestyle desires- don't want the hassle. part of it is 'where the fun is'- the cities.

Some of all of that is simple shortsightedness- today is forever. Some of it actually is wisdom. Costs to operate and maintain a vehicle are much higher today in relation to the cost of living than in previous generations.
