Interesting stats. It looks like more and more teens are not as eager to move onto adulthood as past generations. I couldn't wait to drive and do the other things adults do. Do you think this is partially due to smart phones and the internet? Could it also be parents who don't want their children to grow up too fast?

I think a good part of the problem is the cost of living due to bad policies like dumping tons of money into the economy and the intentional war on affordable energy. I'm still waiting fior the green energy boom that is supposed to make all of our lives better. I feel bad for these young people who have to pay for our electoral mistakes.

Housing prices? Someone did some analysis and found that the price of housing per square foot hasn't changed once adjusted for inflation. Go to a 50's neighborhood and you will see the homes are much smaller, tinier rooms, one car garage instead of a three car unit. Modern houses take up more room on the same lot. Or are more likely to be two and three story.
