Having thought about this for a while; I think the decline of fun places is related to fewer people playing in the streets.

And is also related to less people going to bars, churches, strip joints and parks.

I’ve seen this decline for a long time. People visiting from Europe and Asia will often ask why nobody is outside. The streets empty of pedestrians of all ages.
