I'll save up for now, in a nice but affordable apartment and wait for the prices to finally come down.
I looked around sometime last year and found some reasonable stuff in Vestavia and MB in the $320-400k range. Hell, I think one of those was on Shade's Crest.
If you don't need a house now, though, it's definitely smarter to bide your time.

As a millennial, 90% of my friends are bernie supporters because of his promises for free higher education/student loan relief and universal healthcare.

I will say that boomers have wrecked the housing market where I live. Starter homes being milked for rent money sucks for millennials trying to buy homes. fricking greed man. That said, I'd never vote for bernie in the presidential election.

The lack of a cohesive or innovative solution from the GOP is what is driving a lot of this, I agree. No one is trying to do anything but continue the status quo - which is clearly not working for younger folks.

I'm glad you were smart about your decisions, but without some kind of plan besides "go frick yourself, I was able to do it", there will be an increasing number of Bolshevik resentment candidates in the future.
Finding ways to address the cost of housing, education, and healthcare - through non-subsidized or regulatory schemes - is the key to staving off a Fabian takeover. That, or a purge.

Millennial here.
I have an excessive amount of debt.
I am also intelligent enough to realize that trading my debt for the absolutely awful socialist/communist form of government both Bernie and his supporters want is counter to everything I believe in.
I’ll pay off my debt like a grown man should.

Yep, there are definitely still good ones out there. As of now, no plans for kids either, so I don't need anything in the good school districts, so really just looking for the best deal I can find.

This is very true but maybe not very evident. Networking around some of the private renters will get you decent living in the metro B’ham area at a decent cost. Been here a long time. Now, with children, to get a decent school you may have to pay more. But you had children. Here is what happens. I think most here would see the logic and fairness of that.

Eh, some of it may not be working for them but at the same time, how much of the issue is of their own doing? What I blame previous generations for most is not teaching good financial sense to their children...
government is not going to solve that problem...

I can't really blame someone for buying in to the bullshite they were taught to believe. I was lucky enough to have mitigating un-schooling from family. If you don't have that, or some come-to-Jesus realization about the nature of things, then it stands to reason that you're pissed off. If only one wing of politicians are talking about your problems, you're just going to follow them.

This is funny because as a millennial, I will be voting for our GEOTUS but almost every boomer I see around town has a Bernie sticker on their car.

where do you live where that is the case? lol
I'm in nola and even the turbo lib boomers are still sticking to warren or mini mike bloomberg

Let us also not forget the effect of foreign investment in to urban real estate as a means of hiding wealth from their respective governments. Chinese investors, especially in the West Coast, have really skewed both valuation and rent prices. Not to mention rent control laws that force landlords to extract lost value from new tenants instead of the old frick living in the same place for 40 years.

I'm not saying that most Gen X do feel it, but there are quite a few out there, just as there are a bunch of Millenials on my end of the spectrum. Gen Z needs to chill the frick out though. Those assholes don't know anything about life yet.
