Sure, but that's far from the only issue. We also have stupid regulations and government in general, as well as the overall economic meddling. Even with those forty million (who I agree shouldn't be here), houses should and could be more affordable than they are.
know why city councils and other government entities are meddling? because boomers own houses. if their property value drops for any reason they are underwater on their equity loans. they'll vote rezoning and continuing creation of regulations as they buy their 4th vacation home and tell you to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. just like they did. thankfully they'll be gone soon
Sorry, that's lazy bullshit. Boomers are allowed to own houses, and most don't own four vacation homes. Yeah, they had it easier than we do, which let them buy a house. And? They should have a house. I just want one too.
But acting like an older person wanting to live in a house they own is somehow entitled or screwing it over for everyone else is commie nonsense. I hear people I respect saying that; it's a common talking point, but I don't think it's well thought out.
