This blog has covered the status of home-buying by the Millennial generation several times now; but, all those times have been based on articles written in financial publications, and have largely been positive. If the title doesn’t give it away (Millennials can’t afford to buy houses, even though the U.S. really needs them to), this article by Professor of Law at UT Austin, Mechele Dickerson, has a slightly different take on things. OK. Maybe more than slightly. And she has lots of statistics from the MacArthur Foundation’s 2015 “How Housing Matters” to back it up.
