Thanks for the interesting link, Carol. No question — the millennials have been screwed (which is why so many were supporting Bernie — and who knows how they will vote in November, if at all). In addition to heavy student debt, they have been forced into a job market where “gigs” and part-time employment predominate, while stable jobs with predictable pay raises, like their parents used to have, are hard or impossible to come by. Medical costs were supposed to go down, but have gone up, which affects non-millennials as well.
All of this of course means that some people are not in a position to become homeowners, and others may not be ready to grow roots just yet — so rental housing is here to stay (it will always be needed). But at the same time, condos are selling very well because impoverished/unmarried millennials are not the only population segment that is drawn to walkable, conveniently located urban neighborhoods. People who make good money in the tech sector, two-income couples, folks with sudden windfalls due to inheritance or stock option deals, and empty-nesters who no longer want to maintain suburban houses, would likely be interested in buying attractive new condos in A-B, as homes for themselves, if such housing was only available here.
