[quote=Anonymous]Boomers I am one paid 100 percent their kids college education.

Boomers parents of silent generation or greatest generation parents often grew up in Great Depression, WWII era and then in their later years navigating sky high interest rates in 1970s and 1980s.

Remember Jerry Ford. When mortgages were 16 percent his response was to hand out WIN buttons Whip Inflation Now and When NYS almost went bankrupt and garbage piled sku high and rats everywhere he told NYC to drop dead

Boomers parents had it tough. My uncle at 18 was guy in glass bubble at bottom of of massive bomber on WWII pulling lever to kill as many Germans as possible.

Basically was on a plane full of bombs, was a pilot, co pilot, navigator, bomb loaded, guy to relay instructions to drop bombs and as he got close to target sometimes Germans with machine guns shooting yo to try to kill him before he pulled the lever.

Yes buying a 2 million dollar home in Chevy Chase or leasing a 100k Escalade is harder now that rates are up. But at least you are not fighting the Germans in WWII or starving to death in Great Depression.

Being trapped in a starter home driving a certified pre owned BMW is not that bad.

Rehoboth in my opinion should ban rentals on Airbnb and VRBO less than 30 days. NYC just did it and it frees up housing stock. People can still vacation just longer leases and short term people can stay in hotel where hotel taxes are paid and hotel manages guests behavior.
