One aspect of this might be economic. I know I had a little more money leeway if you go back a few years. Another thing not mentioned is hanging out online. There are a lot of different ways to do that, and although none of them are the same as hanging out in person, they can be similar to one degree or another. Especially over the next few years as VR and AR devices become more capable and comfortable, I think the idea of hanging out will start to include virtual options. Also looking further out, imagine cities that are designed with good density and also integrate efficient and inexpensive public transportation using small private autonomous vehicles. You could take the hassle and most of the cost of driving out of meet ups.
