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

“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?
that and no one can afford kids
IIRC one kid totals an average of 250k in expenses over 18 years, for simplicity we'll say 240k and 20 years,
One kid costs about $1k a month right now.
What adds insult to injury is how those costs can be subsidized, free school meals alone would SIGNIFICANTLY lighten the load on lower class families, improve educational outcomes, improve child nutritional outcomes through regulation of what's on the menu, and even improve sociability since kids now have additional settings to encounter their friends in where their parents and teachers are supervising to correct bad behavior.
Plus it adds an incentive for rich kids to mingle too since being the one person who's not at school dinner because their parents can practically hire a private wait staff and meal planner is immediately going to single you out and there is NOTHING that hurts a kid more socially than sticking out for something like being a rich kid.
Good point.
A generation without chicken tendies, the horror
I have to imagine our relationship with trendies will only evolve, not end.
Trendies, hipster chicken?
You can make your own, with far less fat and sodium
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.
where i live (texas), most houses I know don't have basements, so at least a part of texas is basement dweller free
I wonder why not. Most places I've lived that didn't couldn't due to the water table or ground stability. I wonder if it's just cheaper with how shitty houses are being built now.
Capsules and single room holes.
Have you seen Parasite, the movie?
I don't think ive ever seen a basement in real life
I saw one on a movie once, he worked for a financial company and killed a guy with an axe
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.
Nonono, you do it wrong. You pool together to rent a small part of a basement for a short time. During that time you build a hidden entrance to your own basement under the other basement and in 200-300 years you have your own basement. And evolution will make the job easier as it will make you smaller to fit better into the basement.
Duh! Do we have to explain everything to you people?
My poor kids. They’re welcome back anytime they need to but my basement is not really finishable. Their room is tiny, with bunk beds and no door.
The door part is complicated. I would have fixed that from the beginning if I could have.
How.... How do you get in?
Ha ha ha
The future is now, depending on where you live. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51321661
I grew up in a ranch house with a full unfinished basement.
