If you think young people don't want to completely change the system you are out of touch. Sanders was hugely popular with under 30s. People want change.

they want political change, not physical change. I can't imagine many young people want to give up a bustling city with lots of culture, dating opportunities and things to do for a place thats cheaper with a slightly lower risk of contracting a virus from pandemics that only come around once or twice in a lifetime
The thing is, do young people want to spend their youth and efforts "reimagining" this (the effects of which they won't even see, even in the most optimistic scenario, until they are well past their youth)? I know that I, personally, don't. And it seems unlikely that a lot of young people would be willing to latch onto this kind of "opportunity" either.
It isn't even about "white picket fences", it is about the number of opportunities around, which you only get with high population density. Which is the antithesis of the suburban style of living.
