People still go out to events like concerts and holiday parties. Far fewer people casually go out to their local bars and coffee shops during the week. I’m pretty sure that’s empirical.

Maybe in aggregate. But I can’t speak to that personally. My neighborhood bar is regularly slammed. There was a line around the block for some novelty tot bag at my local coffee shop.

Could just be a Houston phenomenon. But this dogged instance that nobody leaves the house anymore feels more like Internet dogma than fact.

  the downtown area of my home town is simply gone. it used to have a cluster of bars that were always packed, and it’s all just gone now.
