I look at the younger folks in my office, their first apartments are nicer, they go out to eat at better places, often.
Things are more expensive, but I also think people have chosen more expensive things.... Six Flags even, their lower price isn't working for them. That has an influence on business choices.
This is just another aspect of monopolies and centralization of everything in the USA
