Sure but it is still a cultural think. OOP speak about the West having housing issue but the West is also the cultural space where being housed by your parent is a form of unhealthy dependence, while in many places in the world, staying home with your parent is wide spread over the population whether the housing market is safe or not.

I think it was common for previous generations to believe that, but I do not believe that is the case for millennials and gen z. The issue is that our society has systems of oppression that remove a person's choice about where they get to live. It's not an accident that the housing market is this way.
