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

“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?

In the future, the basement won't be known as the basement. It will be known as home because we won't be able to survive long on the main floor due to the radiation exposure and roaming raiding gangs.
