Gen Z "chooses" not to buy houses (we can't afford them)
Gen Z "chooses" to be mentally ill (not even 10 years ago, "autism" was just "the weird kid")
Gen Z "chooses" to rent
Gen Z "chooses" not to buy food
Gen Z "chooses" to let climate change fuck the earth
Gen Z "chooses" to not have kids (although here we actually don't want them, but also couldn't afford them) and so on.
Gen Zers are tracking ahead of their parents’ homeownership rate: 30% of 25-year olds owned their home in 2022, higher than the 27% rate for Gen Xers when they were the same age.
