minus-squaredeadbeef79000@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·11 days agoAll this is anecdotal; my city’s population density has tripled since I was a kids, same area more people. Car ownership back then was one or two cars power household, now it averages (mean) one car per bedroom per household. So there could still be the same number of kids, but the volume of traffic is at least three times higher. It’s going to be wildly different in different cities and different countries.
minus-squarefascicle@leminal.spacelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·10 days agoYeah most of the kids grew up and can’t afford to move out so they just stay with their parents and get a car for themselves where I live
