That picture is so depressing. All it does is highlight how much of a dump Baton Rouge really is.

I didn't realize that living in your parent's basement was considered "home ownership ".

Interestingly enough, millennials are working longer hours and saving more of their income. Living with their parents is pretty smart. Being better prepared going out into the world will lessen their burden on society as a whole.

As with all generations, there are pluses and minuses.

Lots of engineering jobs. Those folks tend to get paid pretty well out of school.

Housing isn't that expensive either.

I'm hoping as an "early" millennial home buyer that the fact my city isn't on this list is a good sign for upside potential.

Job, family, inertia, LSU tailgating, friendly people, easy access to coastal LA fishing

Reminds me of this morning's news:

I-110 closed after truck wreck

Baton Rouge police have shut down Interstate 110 in Baton Rouge after a single 18-wheeler crash.

Birmingham is a shithole with some nice suburbs. The city has Detroit'ish demographics
