It's no assertion. This is reality.

So this tells us where to avoid looking to rent.

Lol. The AVERAGE (median is even lower) income for a millenial is $36,000. If they were to pay 20% of their income toward rent, they should be paying $600 per month toward rent MAX. 8% would be $240.

Where in this country are you going to find an apartment at $600 per month, let alone $240? It's a different world, and I'm wondering just how many statistics you can continue to ignore until you realize that?

Median gross rent in this country is above $1000. What you're advocating is simply IMPOSSIBLE under current economic conditions. Poor people aren't spending 50% of their income on housing because they're greedy or spoiled. They're doing it because that's the lowest price that they can find.

I've never allowed statistics to become the basis of my life. Get off your Bum, seek and you may find.
If the rent price is greater than what you would like to pay, haggle with the owner, perhaps you can get a price reduction. If not, either accept the price or look elsewhere.
You might as well accept the fact that home/land/rental prices on average are ONLY going to increase over time.

You might as well accept the fact that we are going to end up back in feudalism. Because that's where this leads.

I doubt that, but I do believe it is going to get much worse before it gets better.

Have you even tried searching for where the costs are lowest in the U.S.? Major cities would be the last place I would expect to find low cost rentals.

But major cities are the only places with jobs!

And that's why I'd like to fix it before the people who want to steal all of our property get in power.

Well, if you believe that then all I can say is, give up there's no hope for you.

Many of my generation have given up, which is why suicide rates and drug use rates are so high.

Every generation has had some who have given up. Perhaps suicide is a reasonable response, but if you can afford to do drugs don't complain about the rent.

Perhaps suicide is a reasonable response?

This isn't a serious argument.
