Agree - definitely in our neighborhood anyway. It seems like the tail end of the Gen Xers and possibly the front end of the Millennials who are [b]snatching up the McMansions [/b]- not Boomers.[/quote]

Snatching up McMansions that were already built?  By the boomers?  I'm solidly Gen-X, the McMansion trend was well underway when I was in Jr High.  We were not the ones who started clearing large tracts of land to build 5000 square foot houses for families of four.  Boomers are aging out of them now, some people still want them, more don't.

And the sorry Millennials, you weren't the first to rediscover the joys of city living.  I moved to DC 18 years ago it and have stayed because we love living in the city and don't need a huge house or want a long commute.  Most of my friend feel that way, wherever they live, big city or small college town.  I can count the McMansion owners in my life on one hand.

But sure, take credit for a demographic shift that started when you were in pull-ups.  Maybe you'll get a trophy.  If not, your mommy can call. [/quote]
