The prospect of buying a home feels like a pipe dream. And loneliness and social isolation are ever more pervasive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">I\u2019m a New York Times reporter who covers people roughly 35 and under. (I\u2019m 27 myself.) And I want to know what\u2019s on your mind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">I\u2019m interested in hearing from young adults in New York City and the surrounding region. But feel free to respond if you\u2019re a parent, career coach, counselor or anyone else who spends time with young people \u2014 or if you&#8217;re a young person outside of the area and would like to share something.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-ac37hb evys1bk0\">I\u2019ll read every response to this questionnaire and may reach out to you to learn more about your story. We won\u2019t publish any part of your response without first following up with you and hearing back. And we won\u2019t share your contact information outside the Times newsroom or use it for any purpose other than to get in touch with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s a tough time to be a young adult.
