The gig Economy is the new serf class. No stability, no benefits, break the unions. The housing situation is just a byproduct, collateral damage if you will, on the assault on wages and labor.
Chicken/egg problem, maybe. With no large capital investment in your life, with no capital appreciation, you care less about stability. You have less of a stake in your continued presence in a community. Not saying a house is an essential for every Good American but the fact that in any revolution you care to list it's the land owners vs everyone else? I mean, that's not a coincidence.
