Why aren't America's downtowns as lively as they once were?

I know millennial think they're the new party crowd who lighten up the city, but really, most cities in America are not as lively as they once were. I can remember in my own city when everybody was out in the Malls and downtown on a Friday night or Saturday night. Millennials are homebodies compared to generation X and generation Y.

There has been a movement towards the suburbs drawn by cheap land and the promise of a safer lifestyle. The problem is that the inner cities have gotten ignored for decades now. But many downtowns are coming back

Cell phones, computers, lots of deliveries & gun violence showing up in very "unusual" places....(?)

Because everyone is on their f**king phones instead of lighting up the town!!

Ironic that, if there were more young folks downtown, morons like you would be complaining that they were ruining the place
