No problem! You've been a lot of fun to talk with, so thanks for that.

If I were to guess, it's probably because young people have experienced now not 1, but 2 major crises in their lifetime (2008, 2020).
Young people also have congregated to some of the most expensive metros in the US, and those localities have done a terrible job building enough housing to keep up with demand.
I think the collective angst is justified, but needs to be contextualized so that we don't prescribe the wrong solutions.

That's an excellent point. I think that, for various reasons, I've been generalizing more in our discussion and you have been making much more specific and limited claims. One reason I've been generalizing is that I don't know a lot about this stuff : ).
I guess my natural next question is, why do young people (to generalize) feel screwed over by our current economy?
