    Is there a generation that could afford to rent by themselves in their early 20s? Maybe a room in a flophouse.

      I’m gen x and was able to rent a studio on my own for a few years in my late 20’s. Then the recession hit and that lifestyle evaporated. These days I live in a vehicle.

          I appreciate it but I’m doing ok. Fortunately, I foresaw this outcome and prepared for it instead of being forced.

      Nope, just media brainwashing us into being pissed at other generations when it’s the ultra rich (that just so happen to own medias) that are the real issue.
