Maybe in America, but I don't think this trend is true elsewhere. Cities are very convenient (and safe) for families and elders in many countries.

If I want to meet up with friends, we usually all have to drive, regardless where we meet because nobody has a pub or restaurant or place where we could do any activity together near their homes. The only exception is one friend who lives in the city proper, but he lives across town, so everyone else has to drive extra far. In contrast, my friends in European cities seem quite happy living in the city proper, sometimes with kids, and they'll just meet with friends and family for brunch on the weekends and can walk or take public transit.
