I suspect a lot of the urbanites are the millennials and gen y/z's.
Gen X and older were the last generation to see getting a driver's license as a milestone of gaining freedom from parents.
Urbanites were raised by helicopter parents that chauffeured them around and urbanites stayed indoors a lot more since they were raised on the internet and mobile devices.
Why would they like personal forms of transportation, when it was not part of their growing up?

While there has been a slight adjustment to housing preferences due to a couple housing price bubbles, millenials are largely following the exact footsteps of their parents and buying into suburban neighborhoods. It's always been true that urban living appeals more to young people, and they tend to want something different as they mature.
