Practically speaking, this means entry level jobs for a “middle” class career track are now only available to those whose parents can cover rent/commute/work supplies costs. If you can’t lean on intergenerational wealth, you’re screwed.
America is going to get used to multigen homes just like 3rd world counties have to do.
My partner and I live with her mom, and we are all so much less stressed than before. Now we have the energy to clean, cook at home even when wanting nice food, etc. It's really great.
Honestly I'm a fan of living at home. My mother and I bring in about the same each month and rather than having to then blow a solid percentage of each paycheck paying for shelter, food, heating separate places, etc, a smaller percentage leaves the communal pot to cover these same costs, alone we'd both probably get by meagerly, but together we have enough to not really struggle.
