Worried My Generation Can't Comfortably Set Down Roots Here

I would be considered a transplant, having come to Bellevue from out-of-state, right out of college, for work. I was born in 1998, so many of us (millenials/zillenials/Gen-Z) have been working for a few years, but not enough to build a foundation to own a home around here for our (current/future) families, especially around good school districts.


But most of us won't have the means of purchasing a house for many more years, in which the market makes it very discouraging for us since we feel that we won't have a chance to compete. Either we continue renting or move further and further out. That wouldn't be a problem if we invest in more transportation, which Washington seems to be doing. So some of us are also waiting and seeing. But it's with policies that happen now that'll allow us to hope for our futures.
