Yeah. Forget the economic collapse from the burst housing bubble and subprime lending. It was definitely the phones.
The economy was improving since 2008 while the live at homes were climbing.
Hiring didn't recover for years after that. I'm glad you weren't affected, but a large majority were.
If the economy is the main variable still, you would predict the line to start plunging now that the economy is humming?
You would, except that continued underemployment and wage stagnation maintain a class of people who have a hard time making housing work
My first "housing" was one room with no window and a shared bathroom down the hall. So I worked very hard to change that situation. My hypothesis is that smartphones plus living with parents is such a good deal compared to hard work that it's demotivating.
Ah the good ol´ survivorship bias + anecdotal evidence. Also a little bit of the "pull yourself up by your own bootstraps" meme I see. The classic boomer Ladies & Gentlemen.
Did incentives stop influencing human behavior after I got old? Update me with the new thinking, please.
