Check out the polls on the millennials.  

For instance, most Millennials buy their first home at age 31, and for the next 5 years, 5 million Millennials will be turning 31.

And even if it were a good possibility, I couldn't underwrite to that with a straight face.Point 3, "Millennials will start families":  Probably true. 

It isn't the house and kids that slowed down the Generation X-ers, it's the spending habits found in every generation, even the millennials, I see Millennials making terrible financial decisions daily, and the generation after them will do the same.        

The millennials want to be downtown and are paying top dollar to do so.

We don't have nearly the supply of housing we did last time and the demand is going nuts because of the millennial demographic.- Everyone and their brother is watching for the next 'housing bubble to burst' so I suspect it will be something else this time. 

It's mainly among millennials and some in college who haven't had real jobs yet. 

Btw, I have added you to the list so you are covered.Not sure if @Darwin Crawford was typing this from the 1980's based on his thunderbolt like epiphany that energy conservation= $$$.I am always amazed at how these millennials repackage things : https://vimeo.com/131422396;)
