You make great points above and here. I feel one key social dynamic is travel, tourism, exploring the world is relentlessly promoted as unalloyed good. Cities all over are falling over each other as great place to "explore" and "experience" much more than being good place to live, work or raise family. If I see through this promotion I am the curmudgeon who doesn't love the joys of travel.
