Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

gen x here - I had roommates for 15 years or thereabouts after college, and when I finally made it out on my own it was in really shit apartment after ghetto af apartment.
it's not just a gen z issue
Yeah, as an elder millennial, this is just how it is for all of us, unless you live in the middle of nowhere (but then there's no jobs there).
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.
That's us. Hey buddy, I just hope you know that I know what it's like, feel free to pm me if you're feeling angry or sad about anything
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.
Hard to say.
Ah well then, thanks for lowering my expectations, I honestly hoped I would be able to get an engineering internship and a home loan within the next ten years of my life but hey I guess sometimes things are meant to go to shit
If you’re in a well-paying STEM career you’ll be able to afford a house eventually, depending on your location.
Well cheers for the good wishes yeah
