That's still lower than the 90s, FWIW.

Nice links... though I might have saved time by just enjoying the 1st one.
The WaPo article was good as was the census stuff though I didn't do a deep dive into that.

I think it's the technological/cultural changes which have motivated changes in lifestyle preferences. For one, the cost of what is now a technology necessity causes a financial choices to a degree. The continuing trend towards fast casual restaurants for one's diet is another. This all argues for a more convenient, walkable, denser environment. Not sure how being able to share intimate moments without even being in the same place plays into all this?
