I feel like it’s a long term trend exacerbated by COVID. And not so much by COVID itself, but by closures of establishments where people would previously congregate. Two watering holes myself and a few of my friends frequented both fell victim to lockdown insanity (blue state, smh) and lack of government support in the interim. There’s nowhere to go anymore without first driving for 20 minutes, finding parking (nearly always insufficient), and paying twice as much. Between kids, wives, and jobs, hanging out simply became a logistical impossibility.
