George Bush is a Boomer
Franklin Raines is a boomer
Phil Graham
Barney Frank
Bill Clinton

are all Boomers. They aren't only ones that set the stage for that shit...but it's the Boomers.

Very interesting read. Some generalizations but much of it rings true.

The price of housing is ****ing rediculous, and in some areas a complete joke.

I think at one time in this country an auto mechanic with a stay at home wife and 2 kids could afford a home. Now? No F'n way. One parent has to be a software engineer and the other a master's degree school teacher as a baseline to live in any type of decent house in many areas of the country.

San Antonio housing prices are that high? Didn't seem Texas housing prices were really that outrageous to even us poor folks in Kansas City and the midwest. Just gets out of hand on the coasts or where liberals like to live.

The bolded isn't true. And on top of that, for those living at home and if they did want a house it should lead to having that kind of cash anyways with any type of fiscal responsibility. But many people that age aren't really interested in that type of commitment yet, which I can understand.

We ditch the archaic system and quit grouping people based on silly generalizations.

Because there's no such thing as a group dynamic, dominant subgroup or general population?

But in D and Austin and many areas in Houston, price of housing is skyrocketing because retirees with deep pockets from the north are coming down and just raising the prices everywhere. Hell, half the country is trying to get into Houston because it is one of the few areas left in the US with any kind of significant job growth. Prices are going up here in short.
