Covers

Opinion: the argument — housing, degrees, dating, the first rung of the job ladder, and everything else his generation was promised and priced out of.

The record

Micah Reed, 26, writes The Open Table, this paper's opinion column. He grew up behind the counter of his father's auto-parts store, went to a state school on a debate scholarship, and now rents an apartment he can almost afford. He writes about what his generation was promised — the house, the degree that pays, the fair start — and what the numbers say actually happened.

“Bring the argument. I'll bring the table.”
