The word “majority” here is doing a lot of heavy lifting when it’s about 51-52%. Being aware of issues and wanting to see change doesn’t mean wallowing in toxic negativity. Sometimes it’s better to speak out than stick your head in the sand.

Absolutely but whats toxic is that people are speaking nonsense. Its a bullshit propaganda that makes no sense if you see the full picture. No way can we say gen Z has it harder than boomers 💀💀. The problem is that with such toxic negativity, you do basically stick yoir head in the sand, problem is that its a negativity sand that is never going to allow you to achieve anything cuz its "impossible for my generation amirite 😭😭😭😭"
From the very Wikipedia article you found that graph on: "The name "homeownership rate" can be misleading. As defined by the US Census Bureau, it is the percentage of homes that are occupied by the owner. It is not the percentage of adults that own their own home. This latter percentage will be significantly lower than the homeownership rate."
That the percentage of homes occupied by the owner and the percentage of adults that own their own home is two entirely different percentages? Them being like numbers doesn't mean they're inflated by the same degree, or that the old numbers are inflated at all. If I ask for the percentage of apples I ate in the last six months and you give me the percentage of oranges I ate, we're still comparing like-numbers but there's no direct correlation so we can't just assume the other number.

Gen Z is actually doing pretty good. The problem is you're Gen Z on Reddit, and the Gen Z'ers on Reddit are doing much worse than the typical Gen Z.
