I doubt future generations will have “basement dwellers” because none of us can afford to own basements. (self.showerthoughts)

“Basement dwellers” implies parents with multi level houses. I feel like the kid living with their parents for a long time will become more of a thing but they’ll be lucky to have the privacy and space of a whole basement.

And so I say, basement dwellers? In this economy?

The uh, people owning the places with basements will die and someone will be able to buy that property

Corporations who will rent out the basement separately.
