    The reason housing isn’t affordable is because of:

    1. Price fixing for rentals
    2. Corporations are buying up every last bit of housing and then see number 1.

    When you say “boomers,” are you meaning the people in power? Cuz yeah, they’re old and making these decisions to let this happen. Most normal people don’t have the power to stop this shit. Stop complaining and start working towards getting rid of 1) and 2).

      When I say boomers and I’m talking about this, I’m talking about the retired couple still living in a four bedroom house in the suburbs refusing to sell it because it’s going to be worth just a little bit more next year meanwhile there’s a young family who can’t afford a fucking house due to none being available. Yes corporations are a problem, a big one, but the number of neighborhoods that used to be filled with kids that are now filled with retirees is also a problem.
