Back in the 50s generations were more in sync. A new neighborhood will be built and mostly GI families move in, so most kids have friends around their age. Fast forward to my experience growing up in those same neighborhoods in the 1990s, and most of my neighbors were elderly, part of that first wave and still there until they eventually pass. The whole neighborhood ends up desynchronized. Schools have closed because there aren’t nearly as many kids as in the 1950s to educate.
