On the last point, young people don't really start families any more. Or, it's on a significant decline.

Well without a stable home to do so in we aren't comfortable trying to start a family. We (me and my partner) are genuinely trying to follow the same playbook my parents, grandparents and great grandparents did, but even with a household salary about 3x median we're not yet able, at 30 years old.

We're not "not starting families", like its a choice. It's not economically feasible.
