They have to find another solution.

But instead of that lasting forever since their situation never becomes so that they can afford to buy a nice home, which is the case for many people, they only have to deal with that for 10 years at which point they get a lot of choices for nice homes at an affordable price.

It’s the same here in Denmark.

Gotta say, I feel bad for Europeans. In the states just about everyone can afford what you’d probably consider a “nice home” at an “affordable price”.

To put it into perspective; at 20 my friend bought a house in the suburbs — 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 0.3 acres; decent neighborhood, driveway for his 2 cars; etc. he’s not college educated and cuts trees down for a living.

Now try doing that in the Bay Area?

It's a bit funny to compare "Europeans" to some place in nowhere midwest and a friend that is almost certainly an outlier.

I'm sure you can find 20 year olds that can do the same somewhere in Europe.

Is that ignoring all the homeless people in the states, the people living in trailers, in their cars and so on while working multiple jobs?

If that were true, we wouldn’t be having a discussion about affordable housing. Or is this a non-US issue?
