    Also, does everyone have to have a shitty time because you did?

    Literally putting words in my mouth.

    I’m in my late 30s. Regardless that’s a bit of a leap on your part to suggest that sharing my experience is invalidating others. It might be somewhat invalidating the narrative the article is putting forward however, but that’s probably warranted.

    Point is that this has been a problem for a long time. Is it worse now? Sure, rents are even more insane than when I was growing up and pay still sucks. But needing room mates was a thing for me and the majority of my friends growing up.

    This isn’t a new problem like the article seems to suggest. Also historically there’s a greater precedent for people living in shared spaces than not, if we’re being fair.
