That’s the real issue. It is 100% not that they’re more environmentally cautious. Between less 16 year olds having jobs and cars and gas and insurance being so much more, less can afford a car. E bikes probably even have more to do with it than environmentalism does.
Genz can’t afford a car. Even used cars cost too damn much

The Internet replacing the need to go places (e.g. chatting on social media vs. hanging out in a dead mall) probably helped too.
You also have ride hail services that weren’t available a generation ago. You can get places in a car without owning a car.
True enough. Cruisin, video gaming on split screen, and malls got replaced by social media and online gaming with voicechat.
Lucky to get a hand-me-down as well.
