I have a similar situation w my 2 adult, married children paying high rents, and have seen their friends similiarly situated. Situation here in DC area compounded by Amazon plans to move in big right on the Potomac River. Speculators driving prices up well ahead of the actual move. My kids don't quite grasp that prices can go down easily, as they did 11, 18, and 30 years ago. Each time some people suffered a lot. In a 'big one down' many will suffer for a long time.
