    Same shit as when Millennials were killing home ownership.

    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.

    The Internet replacing the need to go places (e.g. chatting on social media vs. hanging out in a dead mall) probably helped too.
