I know plenty of Gen Xers, and Millenials who own rentals. It's far from a boomer thing.

The answer for society is: build more homes. The answer for the individual is: move to places that you can afford.

Hopefully that's easier now that more jobs will be remote

That's the hope. But also, commutes may just be longer. Usually young people want the same stuff they had growing up

Just need to exaggerate it more. Like anything less than median value in state

Whoah. No property tax at all for people that likely already also don’t pay much in income tax? Talk about fair share

"lots of young married couples unable to afford starter homes, and they live in cramped, bad rental housing".

Zenoch

Good for you! What price did you pay 40 years ago?

Parkercoug82

2/26/21 4:47pm

$90K. Which was expensive then and barely within our ability to pay even while stretching given the much lower wages

Zenoch

And your interest rate was probably astronomical as well.
