Survey shows baby boomers believe younger generations could afford homes — if they try harder

Quick Glance: Boomer Views on Younger Generations' Home Buying

A survey indicates 57% of baby boomers believe younger generations need to make more effort to achieve homeownership.

Boomers often attribute the lack of property ownership to the frivolous spending habits of young adults, overlooking rising housing prices and stagnant wages.

Young buyers are burdened by significant student debt and increasing rental costs, often allocating 40-50% of their income to living expenses.

Boomers' choices to remain in their larger homes limit inventory availability for first-time buyers.

Approximately 39 million people in the region are under heat alerts, particularly in major cities like Las Vegas, Phoenix, and San Francisco.

The heat wave is driven by a stable high-pressure system that keeps cool air out, resulting in unusual temperatures reaching 113 degrees in Phoenix.

These weather conditions follow an extremely hot summer, which NOAA reported as the fourth hottest in U.S. history.

Alphabet's Waymo to expand robotaxi fleet with Hyundai EVs

Quick Glance: Waymo and Hyundai: Partnership with Challenges Ahead

Waymo will integrate its autonomous technology into Hyundai Ioniq 5 vehicles, aiming for deployment in its ride-hail service by late 2025.

This partnership raises questions about Waymo's relationship with the Chinese automaker Zeekr, especially in light of geopolitical tensions and trade regulations against China.

Waymo asserts that technology for Zeekr vehicles is installed solely in the U.S., ensuring no data is transmitted to Chinese entities.

The agreement suggests that Waymo will operate as both a ride-hail service and technology developer, while Hyundai continues to pursue its own self-driving solutions.
