    The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said more than 3.3 million adults between the ages of 20 and 34 were living with parents in 2013, 26% of that age group.

    The number has increased by a quarter, or 669,000 people, since 1996.

    This is despite the fact that the number of 20 to 34-year-olds in the UK remains almost the same, the ONS said.

    High prices and high rents are the symptom, not the cause.

    And for all the housing shortage deniers asking where are the hundreds of thousands of homeless people?

    Well now you know.... :cool:
