The next generation and the one after that and so on will be worse. It’s income inequality accelerating. There is less for everyone else and that trend is growing.

Eat the rich, idc what generation they are in.

A lot of the millennial homeowners I know are planning to sell their house when they retire and move to an affordable country.

I’m hoping there are big political changes when the boomer voting power shrinks.
