Older generations have been walking away for responsibilities, like caring for the climate.

Why would the current youth want to become one of them?

Also, youth is not launching into adulthood because they simply can't have certain privileges that older generations have, like owning a decent house.

What do you mean? Where are you from? It’s totally possible for “the youth” to own a house from my perspective.

Possible, sure. In reality it's unlikely though.

Unless you still believe in the american dream, I'm pretty sure we can agree that the increase in housing prices makes it exceedingly difficult for young people to buy a house without a significant inheritance.
