In the end, there's no one reason for the situation. It's a mix housing costs going crazy, salaries not keeping up, throwaway culture, and terrible financial decisions by people living way beyond their means.

It will likely be the downfall of our society as we know it, but you can't say that now as it just gets brushed off as alarmist and unreasoned. We're likely in line for a large correction in western society, one that will rock the average person/family with debt or no savings in a way they could have never imagined.
Especially with the job market. Everyone alive right now has only known a world where you can get a job if you're responsible and willing. We'll soon see times where that isn't the case and then the true unrest will start.
