The typical home now costs $3,200 a month.
You need at least $120,000 a year to afford it.
Meanwhile, the median household income is $84,000.
An entire generation under 30 is starting to believe a home and family will never happen for them.
A generation with no stake in the system would rather watch it burn. Society isn’t ready for that.
