最近的经济困境迫使许多年轻人放弃拥有小型或小型房屋,转而选择住在汽车里,因为传统住房选择的成本不断上升。 千禧一代已经面临着获得稳定就业、积累债务和难以满足基本需求的挑战,此前他们选择狭小的居住空间作为替代解决方案。 然而,对于 Z 世代的一些成员来说,即使是露营车等小型移动生活设施现在也被认为过于昂贵。为了应对日益增加的财务压力,迈克尔·希基 (Michael Hickey) 在一辆 2009 款起亚 Rio 内设置了一间卧室,以便自己居住 在美国旅行时免租。 为了赚取收入,他通过 DoorDash 和 Instacart 等平台打零工。 汽车住宅的趋势凸显了美国经济中更广泛的问题,美联储的政策和乏力的政府干预导致数百万人陷入困境,没有合适的住房选择。 越来越多的人在车内睡觉,凸显了寻找新解决方案的紧迫性,以满足最容易受到经济不稳定影响的人群的迫切需求。

Bidenomics has been disastrous for America's youth, who are coming to age in an era marked by worthless college degrees, accumulating insurmountable debts, and finding jobs that barely cover essential living costs, such as food, rent, and insurance. 

The younger generation (millennials), having long abandoned the dream of homeownership, turned to tiny houses and camper vans as alternatives after the Great Recession. Yet, these options, for the newest generation (Gen-Zers) coming to age - are also becoming expensive. 

One Gen-Zer, living out of his car, showering at a network of Planet Fitness gyms, cooking meals in parking lots, and working random gig jobs from town to town, reveals an emerging trend of the systematic implosion of America's youth. 

YouTuber Michael Hickey - likely kicked out of his parent's basement - built a bed in his 2009 Kia Rio. He said this option allows him to "live rent-free" and travel the country. 

In the video, Hickey said the best parking lots to sleep in are ones owned by Cracker Barrel restaurants. He purchases groceries from supermarkets and prepares them right there in the parking lot on a portable stove.

As for showering, he uses a network of Planet Fitness gyms to exercise and shower.

To make money, he works side-gigs, such as DoorDash and Instacart. 

Hickey is not alone. Tons of other Gen-Zers post their stories of living in cars on YouTube. 

The tiny home we all know has been downgraded to a Honda Element for another homeless Gen-Zer. 

It's a slippery slope for America's youth as the Federal Reserve and the federal government have mismanaged the economy (read: "Gen-Zers Melt Down Over 9-5 Jobs Amid Criticism About 'Bidenomics'"), forcing more youth to give up on tiny homes and camper vans for living in cars. This is the collapse.
