And it would have to be miserable being 27 or 28 and living with your parents. I mean how do you get laid like that.
My mom and dad asked me to move back in with them since I was single and my lease was about to end. My mom had just been diagnosed with cancer (she's fine now) so they wanted me there in case my dad needed any help keeping up with the house. I was 27 years old. I met my wife just before moving in with them so getting laid was not really an issue. It was pretty awesome if I'm being honest. Hunted/fished with my almost every weekend, my mom loves to cook so there was always food around, and was able to save a sh*t pile of money.

Would also include kids in college. My two boys are about an hr away in opposite directions, living on/near campus, but their main residence is under my roof. Not saying that is all college kids but i bet its a big percentage.

Look at this jabroni trying to make excuses.

Because the boomers that own 4 houses they paid $89,000 for 25 years ago are looking to get $750k for them from the single guy making $60k a year.
Or better yet, that person's parents they live with would rather go on 8 cruises a year than help out their kid with a down payment on a start home. As a parent, I'll never understand that

Not sure why these dang 29 year old Gen Z-rs aren’t chomping at the bit to buy a half million dollar 1800 square ft, 50 year old fixer upper

stats are for gullible people, but 7 in 10 people believe them without questioning.

You're mad at the wrong people. Bankers, private equity, inflation and government backed mortgages have more to do with home cost than a boomer holding on to them for 24 years. I can guarantee you not a single one bought an $89k home thinking it would be worth $750 today. If they could have seen that coming they would have bought 20 instead of 4.

Given that one neighbor's kids are on track for that and the other's is actually checking that box, yes, I totally believe it. Also nephew lived at home for longer than I would've.
When I was fresh out of school I couldn't wait to get a place in the city, go to some parties, meet some women, etc... I loved my parents but didn't want to be under their roof for more than a long weekend at home occasionally.
I see this happening and i don't understand how guys 20-26 or so can come home late, intoxicated, make some food, have pizza delivered, play music, bring some friends, maybe have an especial lady spend the night... y'all do that at your mom's house? sounds awful. Also good way to cause a lot of trouble.

Almost half of US adults under 30 live with a parent.
Could also mean the parent lives with the child. In Asia this is a common thing. In the US we like to just throw our old people out on the street.

I had a cousin that really never left home and supported himself,died at 42 from lung cancer from chainsmoking.
My uncle(his dad) would raise hell that he had to get a job or go to college for years.He would get a job for a few months and then quit,would take his dad awhile to figure out he wasn’t working.Several times he started in college and would drop out,same scenario ,take his dad awhile while to figure out he wasn’t going to class.The cycle would start over.
His excuse was the boss didn’t like him or the professor didn’t like him.
When he was about 35 his mother got MS so he did a lot to take care of her.His dad died of a heart attack when cousin was about 40,mother died in about another year and then he died shortly there after.
Sad way to live life.

I absolutely believe this.
The world that a lot of 50-60 year olds grew up in, that I'm sure many of them think still exist, isn't there anymore.
The job market sucks, inflation is extremely high, gas prices are horrific, it's a lot harder to date than it used to be with the dating apps now...and then once you find a job, a lot of the times apartment rent prices are completely out of control.
A lot of middle-aged and older folks don't realize how extremely tough it is nowadays to have a nice house in the suburbs with a stable job nowadays.

Sure. But, I accept all unsupported, vague statements from twitter bots at face value.

Umm. Owning land has always been a thing. In fact, the status used to be how much land you owned.
Nowadays, it seems to be square footage of the home and not the acreage.
You are blaming financing for the home prices and ignoring the regulations needed to construct subdivisions and homes?
In California, it takes 3 years to build a home if you are lucky.
We have a supply side problem.
The US has added 55M people the last 20 years.
Annual new house construction starts is still 20% below the start numbers 20 years ago.

My parents’ rules were pretty simple.
By the time you were in high-school you had two choices: play a sport or get a job.
After you turned 18: either be in college or some kind of training or move out and get a job.
None of us tested those rules, so I don’t know if they would have caved if one of us broke them.
I’m sure they would have been fine with one of us living at home to save for a down payment or something like that as long as we had a plan in place.

25-year-olds: Roughly 25% (one-quarter) live at home.
30-year-olds: Exactly 17% live at home.
30 to 34-year-olds: On average, 12.7% of this overall cohort live with parents.
This rate has nearly doubled since the year 2000, when it sat at just 7.1%
