re: WSJ Piece: Young Americans Are Getting Left Behind by Rising Home Prices, Higher Stocks

Boomers really screwed up the housing market. They complain about people using terms such as rizz and cap or trans when that really has 0 effects on anyones life. What they did to housing which effects every single person in the US makes them the worst generation in history.

They are completely unaware. My real estate agent was a boomer. When I closed on my house and was there signing the papers, she said something like “I hope my son will be able to by a house by 30” and I said, “yeah… well, hopefully he gets a really good paying job, it’s not what it used to be” and she said something snobby like “well, he’s going to make more than I used to make”

The increase in housing prices have much more than eclipsed wage increases, not to mention this boomer idiot went to school for probably $750 a semester.

There are so many boomers who literally think millennials and gen Z won’t be able to afford houses because they pay $5 for a cup of coffee.
