    Are you aware of the general difficulties faced by the Millennial generation with buying housing? Because it sounds like you’re not. Millennials aren’t not buying homes because of a preference as much as a lack of option.

      I am. That’s why it’s so important.

      Whole thing reeks of setting us up for failure. Insecure housing means no/less kids, and that has huge rippling effects 30 m-50 years from now when millenials are too old and infirm to work and there’s not enough people to replace us in the workforce.

      And then our boomer parents, who somehow despite all our best efforts are still alive, will be blaming us for it.

          Shit man I ain’t got no money I was just lucky enough to buy a house before they got stupid expensive. My zillenial brethren have my sympathies, I get that it sucks. But what sucks more is that it’s going to suck more later. The longer you wait to suck it up, the more it’s gonna suck.
