Yeah, it does stink. I've told all our kids (oldest is in uni, nearly 20yo) they're welcome to live with us as long as they need to, if it helps them save enough to eventually head out on their own.

But... they're active kids, with active social lives. Who in their right mind would want to spend their best years living with their near-50yo parents?

It's a shit sandwich alright, and none of our governments have done anywhere near enough to stop it. If anything, they keep making it worse.
