You can't live in avocado toast!
I'm pretty sure millenials are less likely to be married and have kids, too.
Great analysis though
Just a data point.
Uh how did getting married and having kids help boomers get a house?
Regressive taxation, plutocratic drift:

If I was single, with no children, I'd be less motivated to buy a home. Conversely....

The cost of college and real estate has nothing to do with it?
Oh so it's just anecdote.
I didn't say that. I'm sure those are factors for some Millenials. But the tweet you posted was a gross generalization.
predatory Capitalists are buying up homes, creating a shortage, which creates a sellers market at high prices.
SA housing inventory is low after 2019's housing boom.
Capitalists will always try to create shortage or monopolize a market (Hunts silver market)
Millennials, stuck with high college debts and/or bull jobs, are forced into renting (building no equity) and provide steady cash flow for Capitalists
We need some socialist leadership to fix this.
Always the way with statistics, tbh.
Ditto putting it all down to individual choice, as you seem to have done.
Muh anecdote better than stupid chart!
Where, Oh Where, Did the Trump Inaugural Money Go?
D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine today filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s Presidential Inaugural Committee
for violating its nonprofit status by grossly overpaying the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., for food, services and rental space for inaugural activities.
The lawsuit also alleges that the
Trump Organization knowingly overcharged and double booked for its services
and
understood that the nonprofit funds would be used for prohibited private inurement to Trump’s businesses.
Somebody, somewhere, got rich off Trump’s inauguration.
Now it looks like Trump’s own businesses may have pocketed some of the largesse.

I wonder if Faux news will show Trump's VP getting internationally dissed?
Trump’s speech at Davos forum fact-checked by Nobel-winning economist in devastating takedown
shortly after Trump gave his somnambulistic speech bragging about his stewardship of the American economy at what amounts to the Super Bowl of international financial leaders,
a Nobel prize-winning economist, Joseph Stiglitz, was handing out
a typed rebuttal fact-checking the president’s boastful claims to any conference attendee who would take it.
Contradicting Trump’s rosy portrayal of the economic effects of his policies on the American financial system,
Stiglitz used the facts based on government statistics to give
a more realistic picture of the economy as experienced by the average U.S. citizen.
While the president bragged about the 2.6% increase in real median weekly earnings since he took office,
Stiglitz pointed out the inconvenient reality that the median wage of a full-time male worker is still 3% less than what it was 40 years ago
The Nobel laureate also cited
the negative rate of business investment,
a less than stellar growth rate in the nation’s gross domestic product compared to President Obama’s second term, and
the soaring levels of the trade deficit and
the national debt after Trump’s billionaire tax cuts.
Stiglitz was even more critical of the effects of Trump’s fiscal policies on income inequality, noting that for all of the president’s talk of record-low unemployment,
44% of U.S. workers are working in low-wage jobs that pay median annual wages of just $18,000 per year,
He also cited figures from the Tax Policy Center that show how
when the Republican tax plan is fully implemented over the next seven years,
the supposed tax cut will result in increased taxes for 70% of the dwindling number of middle-income families.
