Boomers are getting older, so you can kinda expect some changes...

i wish they were getting younger so we could have affordable housing again.

Huh, if the boomers were getting younger they'd stay in their houses, why would housing get more affordable?

When boomers were younger, they still gave a shit about affordable housing because they needed it.

[–] zaphod@feddit.de 1 points 8 months ago

True, but still, if they started aging in reverse that wouldn't mean they'd start caring again, they still have their houses. On the contrary, they still have their houses and see them as investment so they'd be interested in less affordable housing to drive prices up.
