People don’t seem to really care about their kids/grandkids being unable to afford housing.

Well, that's because affordability is about the same. Granted, that is because the youth have much cheaper lives than we did. In my day we had to spend $20 to see a movie. The kids these days can watch all the movies for $20. To listen to a song you had to pay $20 too. Today you can listen to any song ever made for free. We dropped $100 a night at the bar. They flip through Tinder. We had to buy $20,000 cars to get anywhere, and let's not even talk about the costs that followed. They toss a few bucks at transit and move around to their heart's content.

There is concern for whether or not they are missing out on their lives because of that. Going to the movies, for example, brought more than just a movie. It was a social adventure. Staying home to watch Netflix is not the same. But it's also hard to judge if that is actually something to be concerned about, or if it's just us trying to re-live our youth? Is one life actually better than the other?
