Cost of homes are making ownership unattainable, with the student loans making the lenders refuse to offer a mortgage. My parents era had an extra surplus of homes built and where cost of renting was low with middle class homes needing to be sold. It appears someone had the bright idea to limit construction for the requirements of the next generation and all the previous owners now hold market power or it simply just happened by an over increasing population.

The US government created unnecessary debt by the war in Iraq; where public funding changed hands to pay for the war. The banking crisis in 09 was bailed out by the government unnecessarily. The economy crashes as a result of many factors including this.

It's a real shame because it's a debt machine in a poor economy where the previous generation didn't need a degree and could get a home in their name young.
