I do not know if this is a Major Issue in the country where you live in.
But in the largest cities in Australia like Sydney & Melbourne , younger Millennials are starting to blame older generations for them not being
able to afford a house.
In Australia, this has become a big Political Issue.
The Elephant in the room is - immigration. So housing is a question of supply & demand.
I believe Canada has been through this, but lots of cashed up immigrants from China have decided to call Australia home.
And the Chinese especially in Sydney are not only purchasing the majority of new apartments but lots of existing dwellings as well.
In fact, Australian housing for sale is on a few Chinese language real estate websites.
Owning your own home is great. Its an asset , it gives you stability and you still have a large Mortgage to pay.
I currently rent my apartment and I am happy.
However, I believe that in some countries like Germany & the Netherlands, that renting a Home is favorable more than owning a home, as it allows
the individual to invest their money into other business ventures etc.
Younger generations blaming older generations for their current misfortune really irks me.
It is the "I am a victim" mentality.
Funny thing is though, lots of Millennials like Immigration.. Its the diversity thing .
From news article quote:
I don't see a future, even in my forties, where home ownership and economic stability are a reality. It is scary, and it is my reality.
And the generations before me don't give a damn.
