You’re not complaining that things haven’t gotten better; your complaining that renting single is something other generations had which has been taken away. It isn’t.
No generation has had a majority able to rent alone until they enter mid career. I’m middle-class, American Gen-X, and I had the same experience op did.
Housing has gotten worse. I wasn’t able to afford a house until I was in my 30’s, and had a wife with her own income. The boomers were an exeption, not the rule.
I do feel as if housing is even less affordable than for Gen X, and is getting steadily worse, but renting has always been this way.
