    Blaming individuals instead of the huge vampire corporations that suck up a significant chunk of housing. Need to change tax laws to make it painful, if not at least financially stupid, to own more than 2-3 properties at most.

      And the people that worked in jurisdiction that allowed that in the first place…

      You know, boomers.

        See, true, but here’s the thing. $50 trillion has moved from the bottom 90% to the top 1% over the past few decades. We can bitch about <our group> vs <their group>, and when it’s a very small group of vampires fucking the rest of us. Boomers are around 20% of the population. Blaming boomers in general just doesn’t seem honest, as most of them aren’t in that 1%. I feel like we should be focusing on the system.

        Then again, fucking Boomers worshiped at the senile altar of Reagan, invented Disco, and in general happily sold out their ideals for the '80s. Fuck boomers.

        What I really wish we had is better voters. But, as the old saying goes,“Wish in one hand, shit in the other…”
