Millennials Aren't Only Generation Moving Back in With Parents

One upshot for our cities and suburbs: Young adults are currently driving the market for new multifamily housing, and, over the longer term, it's anticipated that retiring Baby Boomers will continue to drive that momentum as they downsize.
