I'm an elder millennial but you guys are in the same boat. No idea how we're going to afford housing down the line.

I did a PhD so I was a little late to the "real world" than other millenials. And I gotta say GenZ are in a much worse boat than millenials depending on location. In the Toronto area I'd say there's a lucky subset of millenials who will never afford a home but have been in a rent-controlled unit for a few years. Idk how affordable having an apartment to yourself would be for gen z. To spend only 35% of your income on rent in Toronto right now for a 1 bedroom you'd need to be in the top quintile for HH income.

I think I joked previously the millenial experience was going on zillow to look at houses you'll never afford while the genz experience is looking at apartments you'll never afford.

The solution is to burn down all homes so nobody has a place to live. A sorta "if I can't have THING no one will".

In Minecraft, of course 😉
