my parents are nearby, but my wife's parents are about 500 miles away, and we visit several times per year. We'd like to visit more often, but have also had multiple funerals this year that have taken us in the other direction. I'm not suggesting everyone will necessarily own a car. Only that extrapolating from the trends of what young people are currently doing isn't necessarily accurate -- recently graduated singles won't have all of the same life considerations as they will 5-10 years in the future. (Another one: those "boring suburbs" often have much better schools than the "hip" inner city. When you have kids, bad schools become a serious consideration.)
