The point is that what qualifies as "modest housing" has changed dramatically. Also what qualifies as "younger people" is changing dramatically. My parents bought their first detached house, a brand new build, well before the age of 30. That was the norm. Our entire neighbourhood was filled with people who'd done the same thing. All new families. That's far from the norm now. Pretending that it's just some thing that every generation has had to adjust to is straight up facetious.
