And Millennials are moving to the burbs to start families just like their parents did. They're just doing it at a few years later in life.

This. The Millennials are basically tracking to do the same things as the baby boomers. You know why those boomers who were terrible people bought SFH's and SUVs and drove everywhere? Because they could. Once you have kids and everything that comes with that, having a car and house is likely in the cards. When you have to drive the kids to hockey/dance/soccer and all their gear, you want a vehicle for that and transit isn't going to make that easy. When you have those kids and they get up at 6-7am, being close to bars and restaurants isn't as important.
