But there’s a downside: Millennials, who have been flocking to Greater Boston in droves, are facing a region with a dearth of affordable housing and lagging economic opportunity, according to a new survey conducted by the the Boston Foundation’s Boston Indicators project, with the Boston Chamber of Commerce. Approximately 1,600 millennials based in Greater Boston took part in the survey.
