I was just going off what I see personally in day to day life with the people I know. I will say this, my mentor in the business i'm in gave me a nugget of wisdom early on..
"Don't ever try to understand someone else's finances even though you see no logic in their choices" 12 years later it certainly rings true everyday..

Oh I agree, I not saying that's the only group with the issue, it's just what i personally encounter is what i'm basing my assumptions on.

No, but most of the really bad shite was in the first term

So you're saying Grandpa was fine living in Decatur or Brookhaven, but the grandkids won't buy in Forsyth County (or wherever)?
Is that about how things look or where they are located?
I'm saying the "fringe" suburbs in Grandpa's era were post war SFH with maintained yards and genteel neighbors who took pride in their community. People pulled in the same direction, went to church together, etc.
I don't think that describes fringe suburbs now.

They did, but the damage was already done, and 90% of boomers weren’t old enough to vote. That was the greatest generation and silent generation voting for him over Goldwater.

That graph seems to indicate that median real wages went up from below $75k to $90k from 2015-2019. Pretty dramatic swing to be believable.
Most of all millennials entered their second real job during that timeframe, The youngest would 24 in 2019.

Owning property is more of an investment today, which detaches the owners from community to an extent.
Long gone are the days when people lived their lives in one house and communities had a lot of continuity.

The purposeful destruction of neighborhood schools and villainizing of organized religion did this. Churches and neighborhood schools were once community pillars that bound neighbors together. Not the case today.
As for seeing housing as an investment, owning a home is not an investment if you’re living in it. A common mistake folks make is confusing a liability for an asset. Housing is a necessity and a recurring expense, meaning that if you only own one home, that you cannot sell that “asset” without acquiring a somewhat equal asset. Thus, it’s not really much of an asset. It’s akin to selling your car to pay the light bill, but without your car you cannot drive to work.

Nobody voted for LBJ. He took over after killing Kennedy.

You do know only about 1/10th of boomers were old enough to do that, right?
LBJ was elected in 1964, and you had to be 21 then to vote...
so that means he won without a single Boomer vote, if the first Boomers weren't born until 1946 when their dads got back from the war

It's a combination of things - inflation, consumerism, increased concentration of jobs in expensive markets.
I also think Americans have come to expect better things like vehicles and homes than their parents had at their age.
My parents drove older vehicles. We had a family of 5 growing up in about a 1600/sq ft house. We weren’t poor. That was considered pretty normal at the time. I think a far less percentage of younger families would consider that acceptable in 2021.
