you can have 3/2 in Pleasantville, Houston for 225k
But does it have a man cave, quartz countertops, and an under 15 minute commute to my job. Those are starter home requisites.

I currently own a home in a very nice area. My story doesn’t mean a single thing
I have no idea why it’s such a struggle for people to accept their personal story doesn’t mean a damn thing on the macro level
This is one of those fights where I do not represent the majority problem - millenials and others in really tough situations due to the disaster that is Boomer policy making and control of the economy.
I've worked hard, but I'm lucky. I've done well, one might say that I have the success of a Boomer in these times. But my personal story means nothing. But I hate the taxes, the medicaid, the SS drags on the economy and the lack of Boomers to see their fault in it.

When did I say any of that? I just asking to do an exercise to see how realistic your claims are.
Based on actual facts, the youth today has a harder financial outlook than those before them.

it would be a shorter commute for me to the plant and my life insurance policy would kick in quicker for my kids because I would either get shoot or die of pollution-related cancer

Because the macro level shouldn’t matter to the individual. You just need one house. So let’s start there.
Graduating with mountains of debt. Poor housing choices. Inability to really settle down in a location, because then you are at the mercy of some Boomer CEO and will just have to take what he gives you no matter what.
Let's not mention the complete strangling of high quality homes, even small ones, by poor companies with no interest in longevity. Again, that's something the Boomers bought into that most people cannot.

He posted the crime statistics for that area.
It is abysmal.

Well, you could do the same thing for NOLA and get even worse results with more expensive real estate.

“Starter neighborhoods” are not really starter homes. They are expensive housing neighborhoods.
It’s legit becoming basically unaffordable for average people to live in decent housing

It’s not “woe is me” to simply state facts. We aren’t saying hard work won’t still work. But one shouldn’t have an issue saying it’s worse for the youth today
The ironic thing is Roger and you would happily post on the PT this world and county and everything else is going to shite, but for some reason can’t carry that over here

The youth expected a better world than their parents exactly like their parents experienced and all economic policy was centered on permanent globalism and never-ending growth but that was never reality.
Boomers are the first generation to turn around to the generation behind them and say "well frick you!"
The numbers and data are clear on what's happening, the mindset is the most astonishing aspect.
Boomers are not harder working or less hard working.
They're not smarter or less smart.
They had the post-WW2 American led order and the birth of globalism along with a massive population that supercharged their economic life and boomers actually believe it's a norm and not the exception.

I will never understand some people's inability to accept that some people have it harder than they did.
Its so fricking weird to me.
I'm a 40 year old millennial. I can easily accept that my 22 year niece will have a much more difficult time buying a home than I did just 15 years ago.

There ARE NO MORE STARTER homes. You boomers just scream shite that might have been true decades ago. Your sense of self-importance and accomplishment makes it impossible for you to objectively evaluate anything. You cannot understand those before you nor the ones after you.
You can buy some land and a reconditioned mobile home for half that.

Yep. I’m 36. I got lucky as frick
Still in college during the 2008 crash and bought a home in 2015 before the Covid pricing boom.
My situation is great. People just 10 years younger than me have it so much worse. It’s so easy for me to say that. It’s a character flaw to me to be afraid to say that others face a tougher road

Lol, what wealth do I have?
All I see is claims that everything is terrible and there’s nothing available for anyone. The problem is, everyone today wants to start off at the top of the hill with the nice house in the nice neighborhood and no commute. If you want to do that, you better be ready to work your arse off in school/training then in the job market.
If you’re not, good luck.
