1 Maybe they don't want to submit to draconian licensing restrictions which have trended politically toward the ridiculous and punitive under the guise of increasing road safety all whilst seniors losing their sense of sight continue to get involved in serious accidents on a regular basis? Not to mention the environmental / financial issues implicit in car ownership.
2. Maybe they don't see a need to migrate to places where physical presence is necessary to undertake these jobs when location independent work is a rising tide? (Thus further negating the entire point of having a car and / or submitting to the prior mentioned procedures from point 1?)
Speaking for myself those are the reasons I don't submit to the whole car culture thing and the reason I don't choose a location to live based on employment / economic factors, but then I'm 32, so I acknowledge I'm not generation Y. It stands to reason though that there are some people in that generation proceeding on the same basis as I am.
Boomers criticising any generation for not wanting to play the game strikes me as utterly hilarious. Especially from a guy with a book titled "Why you need and love the rat race". It's self parody at its finest.
