[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boomers are the ones voting against housing. The lack of housing is whats causing the housing price growth. I don't see millenials clamoring for yards or SFHs. They are perfectly fine with apartments. And yet we are in this situation, and then having folks arguing how dare you discriminate against these elderly who sacrificed themselves by not giving them better property tax rates? how dare you suggest we try to incentivize them to move?

We just want what we grew up with, what our parents have.  But we can’t afford it.  My parents bought their house in Ohio in 1990 for $300,000 and now its worth about $1 million.  Even with much higher salaries than my dad made in 1990, we can’t afford it. 
No, they want the large homes. It's been said over and over in here. They also want: a move in ready fully remodeled home, near public transit, in a good school system, with a high walkability score, in a desirable zip code, yard, mature trees, and sidewalks. It's an impressive wish list which will carry a hefty price tag if they could actually tick all the boxes. Anything less means they are suffering and don't have it as good as their parents who should just die already.[/quote][/quote]
