It also would destroy the vague hope he could ever purchase a home

He's young yet. Lots of variables can change in a relatively short time.

Unless there's a massive housing crash or he teleports back to the 1940s-1980s with a bag of his cash I don't think his prognosis is good.

To be fair it's the same here in UK. We have a high % in that age range also living at home. I also know people who can afford to move out and are in the 25-35 age range, but they're either saving for a mortgage or just comfortable at home. I myself am 28 and only moved out a couple years ago into shared accommodation, but in a few months I'm gonna move into my own flat/apartment. It's not necessarily the state/government fault, it can solely be people prefer to stay home longer and save money. In southern europe it's also fairly normal to stay home until older, say in Italy and Spain for e.g. california is a pricey place to live and im not surprised at all by those stats. I will say though, here in UK there's an issue with affordable housing which needs to be dealt with. House prices and rent prices are rising fast in London and the south east (where I am based) so it's not good for the less fortunate % of people

Of those 38%, 96% get their back rubbed and get told "its okay my sweet sweet baby, that person didnt mean it, hush now while I burp you" whenever they hear someone say something they disagree with

I can understand it to a point considering how impossible it must be to buy a starter home in California. But, although I don't live in Calif, I still know of several people with adult children not only living with them but sponging off them. Meaning, not interesting in working or helping out. But.... I blame this on the parents.

I just looked up the apartment I lived in with a roommate in West L.A. in the late 1970s when I was in my early 20s. The rent was $195/month back then. It's now $2,700 per month....unbelievable. (None of us had student loans back then.)

And I bet the 142k millennial could have bought an apartment building back then with that kind of nest egg.
