I think people want to take legitimate grievances, and then go full doomer over it to justify themselves not having to try.
All the problems are valid and should be addresses on a political and economic level. But people obsess over them until they are convinced its impossible and don't even try to work around it.
Yes, I know. I've had this conversation many times with people bitching about how expensive 2BD apartments are. I ask, "You are young and single, why do you need a 2bd apartment by yourself? Why aren't you rooming with someone(s), its much cheaper?
Young people want to live like their social media influencers do, and the concept of delayed gratification is lost on them. I shared a bedroom with my brother up until jr high, and my family of four lived in 1400sq. ft. or smaller houses all the way through high school. The house we lived in when I graduated HS is 1320 square feet, I just looked it up on Zillow. 4BD 2 bath.
I know some will complain about it because they are planning ahead. They have no intention of moving into one at present but they want to get married and have kids but they just don't see ways to make it financially comfortable in the modern era.

I lived in a studio In college. That's normal. I don't know any single person that ever lived in a two bedroom apartment.
Then again, I'm significantly older than the current generation in college and saved up money to buy my own home, so there's that.
Even when it was 1500 sq ft and had 2 bathrooms I made sure it was 1 br.
Maybe people are trying to work at home. That's why I have 2 rooms now
