Anecdote from the US: Your belief may become more true as demographics change, but my parents and my wife's parents, who are baby boomers, and the vast majority

Anecdote from the US: Your belief may become more true as demographics change, but my parents and my wife's parents, who are baby boomers, and the vast majority of their friends and acquaintances, have no interest whatsoever in living within walking distance of basically anything because they have such an aversion to living really close to other people. For sure they are hardcore suburban people and not representative of everyone in the US, but I also don't think they're unusual among baby boomers, at least.
