More gen Z men live with parents in this city than anywhere in the US. How do they date?

I'm thinking about these guys who are struggling to find their feet... Daniel's story is crazy hard to look at, all that violence and trauma... it's like, what can you even do when life just keeps throwing punches? But at the same time, he's found this community with his friends, and that's something. Community is key, right?

And Kimani's story is so inspiring... I mean, who wouldn't want to move back in with their parents after struggling in LA? It shows that sometimes you have to take a step back and re-evaluate what's going on. But Arnett's point about the economy being all messed up is totally valid too... I think we need to start thinking about ways to support these guys who are just trying to make ends meet.

It makes me wonder, what would happen if we created more community spaces that actually helped young men like Daniel and Kimani find stability? Maybe not as a place to stay forever, but somewhere they could go to learn new skills or connect with people who get it. That would be something, right?

it's so messed up how many young men are struggling just to get by, you feel? like, they're trying their best but the system is all against them . poverty, racism, lack of access to ed and job training... it's a tough row to hoe . but i gotta say, these three dudes' stories are giving me hope . danial, kimani, and arnett are all struggling with their own issues but they're finding ways to cope and thrive in their own ways . community is key, right? like, for them to find stability and happiness, they need people who got their backs . we need to be the support system for these young men .

I think its crazy how society still expects us to figure out who we are and what we want in life by 25... meanwhile our parents are still living under the same roof as them . Like, I get it, systemic issues and all that, but can't we just acknowledge that sometimes you need a little help from your friends (and family)? Daniel's story is so relatable tho, the pressure to be a man is real... and Kimani's experience with living with his parents again is like, totally valid too . We need more conversations about how to support these young guys as they navigate adulthood

I feel so bad for Daniel & Kimani, livin' with their parents can't be easy . But on the other hand, I think it's cool that they found a sense of community & belonging with their friends . And I gotta say, Arnett makes some really valid points about systemic change & job training programs . We need more support for these guys, 'cause it's not just about bein' a man, it's about havin' stability & happiness . And I love how the article shows that livin' at home can be a necessary step towards gettin' back on track . Maybe we should start talkin' more about this stuff & supportin' each other
