Buying a home feels impossible as generational divide widens
Original: Buying a home seems impossible. Here’s what Boomers just don’t understand
A new commentary argues that buying a home has become effectively impossible for younger generations, and that Baby Boomers fail to grasp how much harder the market is now than when they bought. Higher prices, steep mortgage rates and stagnant wages are framed as the core gap between generations. The piece is fueling debate online between younger buyers and older homeowners.
Why now: Housing affordability is a top concern for young adults, and framing it as a generational misunderstanding sparks argument.
