This is going to be a much bigger issue with the COVID generation. My experience is that younger people don't want to do much outside of their houses. They don't even want to come into the office to work. In my lifetime, society has gone from having block parties, holiday parties, community parties, dinner clubs, bridge / poker clubs, high church attendance, and other participation in community events, to doing almost nothing communally anymore. Everyone wants to sit at home and planning a Haloween Party or dinner party for friends in the neighborhood is too much effort.
MADD had a huge effect on destroying socializing in America.

They don’t even want to come into the office to work.
I’m 53, and I don’t want to go to the office to work. I’m in IT, specifically networking engineering/architecture/design. I can work from anywhere that has an internet connection (my cell and tethering). Why waste 2 hours and drive 60+ miles round trip when I can do it from my bedroom?
