    Is there a generation that could afford to rent by themselves in their early 20s? Maybe a room in a flophouse.

      Nope, just media brainwashing us into being pissed at other generations when it’s the ultra rich (that just so happen to own medias) that are the real issue.

      I’m gen x and was able to rent a studio on my own for a few years in my late 20’s. Then the recession hit and that lifestyle evaporated. These days I live in a vehicle.

          I appreciate it but I’m doing ok. Fortunately, I foresaw this outcome and prepared for it instead of being forced.
