I think it's more about foreign interests owning more rental properties than the boomers own housing. But go ahead...it's boomers all the way down, that are the cause of everything. Even back during the fall of Rome I'd guess. I don't want to fiddle with your hard wiring.
I'm just stating facts. When people die, houses go onto the market.
That's a fact that goes all the way back in history, not anything unique to the boomer generation. Though I think there's a tendency I see often in the boomer generation: Wanting things to be worse for future generations for some reason.
Does it really bother you that after you die, someone else is going to be living in your house and that will be something that will improve their lives?
If you want to back-peddle then that's fine. It shows me your willing to accept the argument that it's bit of everybody, all the time, throughout history. Not just those fucking boomers. The things you see in a specific generation is dependent on when you were born. Look closely at human nature. That shit has existed forever. If my death can help a family get ahead then I'm all for it. You make a lot of assumptions so I will assume the traditional use of the phrase "SpaceCowboy".
