Reading the article what's striking is that while living with parents has now surpassed it's 1880 level of 30%, it has otherwise remained mostly stable, peaking at 35% in 1940. The big change is in the the decline in married/cohabiting households, which as nearly halved since 1960 (from 62% to 32%)
A couple buying a house during our current period of declining wages is hard enough. Doing it yourself is even more difficult, especially without a college degree or other marketable skills.
