Baby Boomers Are Buying Up All The Houses
Baby Boomers Are Buying Up All The Houses
Banks, private equity, and hedgefunds are buying all the houses its not just the baby boomers.
Property is a great hedge against the us dollar!
Hedgefundaganda from sfgate. Classic playbook from the rich, pitting people against each other to deflect blame.

And then go buy their cheap 55+ only housing to live in while they collect rent
That shit should be fucking illegal.
Remember in the US it is perfectly legal to discriminate to those under the age of 40.
Same as it ever was.
They already owned houses that cost approximately 1x their combined salary or less when they initially bought them back in the 70's & 80's and they've all been paid off for a while now. They can use them at leverage to buy more and rent them for extra revenue on top of their pension.
They held on to their jobs to the detriment of their children, and then required higher education degree to do the job they've been doing with basically a high-school or vocational college degree. And now they're hoarding all the housing, again, to the detriment of their children. And they have the gall to call their kids lazy when they've been basically competing with them the whole time, preventing their children from reaching their life goals.
I can't fathom a world where I could buy a house for a year's salary. It's nuts.
My boomer dad inherited his mom's house, then sold it to a rich guy to rent out. His house will go to my bitch stepmom or her kids. Dgaf, I worked for my own. Gen X rules
This is how you get younger generations hoping an entire generation just dies already.
I've been that way for awhile.
Society doesn't really change until older generations die. They're incapable of admitting when they're wrong, so it's up to nature to take them out of the discussion.
I thank god death is built-in to life for this reason.
It's even worse with boomers, too. The most entitled generation to plunder this planet. They'll die out right as the consequences for their greed starts to affect us all.
It's not the baby boomers. It's the fascists and it will get a LOT worse as they are buying up areas least affected by climate change. As land value increases even baby boomers will lose their land because they can't afford the real estate taxes and costs of living in prime areas. Ultimately, only the rich will enjoy owning property.
My mom is pre-boomer and we're Gen-X. We have a house (bought in 2008 when you could still get a low rate fixed APR mortgage), but it's a small house four three people in a town where we don't want to live. We will have to wait until she dies and we inherit her money and sell her house before we can move. I hate that I have to wait for my mother to die to live a better life.
did this magazine get renamed "olds"?
