It's not that Gen Z abandoned SFH living. A better way to say it is that 20-somethings tend to live in dense apartments in areas which have activities for 20-somethings (bars, parties, concerts, etc).
That's likely been true for 20-somethings for a very long time. Human nature.
Then, 30-to-40-somethings settle down and move to quieter places with more space and more suitable for having their own kids. I'm pretty sure when Gen Z gets to that age range, they'll do the same.
