That's a thought that often crosses my mind, but I try not to say it out loud because it makes me feel like an old fart.
- user5994461 6y agoThe more likely explanation is that your teenagers have some public transportation available, so they can go somewhere if they want to. Public transportation was non existent for the parent 30 years ago. If you look at cities all around the world, most tubes and overground lines were constructed in the past few decades.
