If you scroll to the bottom of the article, they post their sources, including studies published in peer reviewed journals. I'm sure most of us see this headline and go, "Duh," but here we have hard data. Every time our billionaire and political overlords wring their hands about birthrates, the collective response from all of us should be, "fuck you, pay me, or kick rocks."

Don't forget that even doing the multi generation home means that there is little space for human expansion there. So while I grew up with my great grandparents the room they used up is now my siblings. Even in my cousins house they only got their own room because their great grandma died and grandfather died. Then my other cousin took over the 2 car garage and turned it into a living suite. And the Basement? Last cousin took it over. These are just adults that cant do any better. How are they going to find room for kids unless someone else dies?
