Wow you people are nuts. Boomers actually bought real 3/2 simple starter homes and coped with 18% interest rates in the 1980s. Oh, actual gas SHORTAGES too.

We did have a break and college tuition compared to today, but most of us went to community colleges or state colleges. We didn't feel entitled to go to Yale.

We worked our way up, we worked long hours and paid our dues.

Young people today aren't interested in starting at the bottom.

This. [b]Our first two homes were small townhouses before we could afford a single family house.[/b] Our first home interest rate was in the double digits. Boomers didn't graduate college and immediately go into large single family homes the way you fantasize. In our last neighborhood it was the younger gen z buying the largest, most expensive homes.

Work your way up in the housing market the way everyone else does. And while you're at it start seeing a therapist to work out your issues if you're the same person who keeps posting these boomer real estate rantings.[/quote]

JHC. You still don’t get it. Half of Millennials won’t buy one home, let alone trade up multiple times. You can’t even recognize that the opportunities you were given no longer exist for young families.

This is exactly why we derisively say “OK, B00mer.”

I can’t believe you typed all that out without a hint of self reflection at your own fortunate circumstances [/quote]
