      I think it’s the point of the article tbh, title is tongue-in-cheek. Author is a fashion reporter for Forbes and lives in Berlin, I’m gonna guess one of those “digital nomads” who wants to live in a relatively inexpensive “world class” city while getting paid roughly a NYC wage. I wonder just how much of a contribution people like her make to housing crises in places like Berlin.

        Ahhhh my b. For a second I thought “oh god, the ‘millennials are killing this that and the other’ trend is back” and kinda knee-jerked a little.

          Lol I added a bit more context. Honestly losing my sympathy a bit when I realized it’s probably a bougie kid that just wants places like Berlin to also have McMansions

      Oh, don’t be silly. Poor people don’t exist. Everyone is a multimillionaire that can afford to pay 5000 for a studio. Just have mummy and daddy cover your rent if you’re really that much of an underachiever.

    If anything, my grandparents killed the guest room. My mom and I had to live with them for years, and after we both moved out they converted our rooms into crafting rooms. My mom and I live in different apartments, with no extra room, and they got rid of their guest rooms to have more space to craft stuff. Hardly what I’d call Millennials…
