Why is this news to anybody?
Let’s say there is a list of 10 things that make up what makes a country great. We decided that security / strength is what our focus is as a country. And we are by and far away by a country mile the most “secure” country in the world. We bring stability to an otherwise unstable world.
Since resources, intellectual manpower, etc are limited we’ve done this by sacrificing items 2-10.
I’ll take the security over “quality of life” because as flawed as the US is we’re still the ones with the biggest stick. And humans are violent combative people and having the biggest stick goes a long way. Its sacrificing quality of life for safety of having the most secure country.
We want to stop spending on defense, shift our collective mentality to a more holistic and hippie mentality, and refocus on all the other stuff we can do that too. We’ve clearly chosen not to since that’s not what people are voting for / demanding long term change. Literally if we took 10 years off from defense and said let’s just rebuild our infrastructure we could easily do it. We really would rather live in a broken down city with zero fear of foreign nations than in a beautiful city with even a 5% fear of some other nation.

I live with my people right now. Did the whole "get a good job, move out, get a gf and (try to) build" ****.
The area i live in isnt desirable enough in my eyes to compensate for the absurd COL. I rather keep the money in my household than pay somebody else to live in their ****, on a side of town i have no ties or real business being in, other than its because its all i can afford.

75% is an exaggerated number, but there's a huge disparity in population distribution across the country. Can't deny that at all...
From what I've seen and heard from people I know who are personally doing this, it's true. A lot of people I do business with internationally have all done this.

Parents used to make you leave home to be your own person and now they allow it in their homes. I used to have sneak women in the house when I was in high school and now parents will let the gf or bf sleep over..

Is pushing children out of the house when they're not financially ready a better alternative in your mind?

Let me rephrase:
is there something wrong with parents letting their children to be their own person in their homes?

Not particularly, I wish my moms let me be me under her roof. I would have saved a lot of bread since I was 19.

Makes complete sense..
the prices of houses have gone up, costs of living in general has gone up.. and salaries haven’t followed on the same level
also school obligations and costs have gone up to an absurd degree

So why do you deem 52% of 18-28 year olds living at home as a "problem"?

I don’t think you should just dump your kids at 18 years old.
I had to rent a place making min wage and that lasted all of two months before I said f this and started hustling
then that’s all I did for 10 years. Career wasn’t even a concern.
I won’t do that to my daughter, figure out what you want to do and do that. I’m not just going to say “well you’re 18 now, I’ve done all I can do. You’re on your own.

You said it was problem, rather asked why I thought it was problem. I'm just offering an observation as to why the situation exists.
