Because living in a large city is awful. That's why.
The Internet makes it possible to have almost everything you get in a large city with zero of the BS.
If I want to purchase goods, it can be done online. If I want to meet a date, it can be done online. If I want to just communicate and express my ideas or opinions like I'm doing right now, it can be done online. Even getting a college education or a decent career can all be done online now.
Cities are becoming more obsolete by the day because of the Internet. Just wait until drone technology really takes off and one can travel 30 miles in a straight line to their destination in 15 minutes instead of spending over an hour driving there. Cities are going to become geographically larger with more burbs and less dense.

Many people disagree with that, myself included.
I grew up in the suburbs and I prefer hanging out in urban areas

Why would I want to live in a concrete/brick box, force myself into a bus/subway, drag groceries and 40 pound cat litter boxes on the bus, have no personal outside space?

Hanging out and living are two different things. There is a big difference between having coffee or drinks with your friends and buying a house in a large city. This is the biggest reason why so many young people eventually retreat to the burbs.
America grew up differently than Europe. The American Dream from post World War 2 was to own a suburban house with a yard and a fence. America became more car centric than European cities, and wealthier than Central and South American cities so suburbs were achievable for the middle class. Sure cities are gentrifying now, but a lot of the people gentrifying grew up in the suburbs and move back when they have kids because the schools are better and they don't care about nightlife as much.
