" renting is the new American dream. Homeownership rate for those under the age of 35 is at a 16 year low."

Seriously? What kind of statement is this. It's not the new American dream. It's the new American reality.

I think it's a statement of how these people feel that the dream is dead, moreso than an assumption that young people today are literally dreaming of renting.

America needs a new dream. Maybe one that doesn't translate into "Buy more stuff"

Here's a dream to go along with that one. By retirement age $20/gallon gas and necessities being so expensive no one can retire.
