True but unaffordable housing is not painful across society nor a single generation
No, but the Boomers, and GenX like me have had our shot during the good years. Millennials and Zs have been screwed before they even entered adulthood.
Some have sure, but the sector most at risk of homelessness are older women who for what ever reason are continually ignored.
You're referring to a completely different topic that is being discussed here. We're not talking about homelessness, but instead people that can make a rent payment but do not have the ability to buy a house.
Feel free to find a news article talking about homelessness and raise your point there.
And this thread started by Sir Kevin talks about moving away from generational conflict, but thanks for keeping us on the very narrow track champ
I can't tell if you're trolling or you don't understand that not every thread is about every problem facing people. Is homelessness a problem? Absolutely. However, so is climate change and we're not talking about that here either.
When you try to broaden the topic as far as you are there is no meaningful discussion about anything.
yeah but really, it's the people with diabetes that are hurting
This is just whataboutism
Being born in 1977, I'm right at the cusp between Gen X and Millennial. Most of my friends my around my age and older own houses. Most of my younger friends do not. That seems like a pretty stark difference to me.
