Buying a family-sized home with three or more bedrooms used to be manageable for young people with children. But with home prices climbing faster than wages, mortgage rates still close to 23-year highs and a shortage of homes nationwide, many Millennials with kids can’t afford it. And Gen Z adults with kids? Even harder.

Meanwhile, Baby Boomers are staying in their larger homes for longer, preferring to age in place and stay active in a neighborhood that’s familiar to them. And even if they sold, where would they go? There is a shortage of smaller homes in those neighborhoods.

As a result, empty-nest Baby Boomers own 28% of large homes — and Milliennials with kids own just 14%, according to a Redfin analysis released Tuesday. Gen Z families own just 0.3% of homes with three bedrooms or more.

    Sorry… are you under the absolute bizarre impression that because I linked to two articles that quote what Republicans say, I am saying those two sources are Republican?

    As for CNN… who just hosted a pointless Republican debate?

      I just think it’s funny to be complaining about the republicans doing something and post three sources of their opposition doing the it, instead of finding three republican “pro killing boomers and making them leave their homes” articles which I’m sure you could have.

      As for CNN… who just hosted a pointless Republican debate?

      So you’re doubling down on CNN being the republican’s news outlet? Oh right I forgot about the party switch, you know, when all the CNN guys became republicans and all the Fox guys became Democrats. Silly me.

        I suppose I could have found articles about things I didn’t know people said, but I decided to go with the ones I did know about.

        And CNN is whatever its WB masters think will most benefit them… but if you think it’s left-wing to allow two Republicans to spend a huge amount of prime time on your news network spewing their false talking points unchallenged except by each other, I don’t know what to tell you.

          Right, and then say other people said it, it’s just an odd choice.

          “Are democrats left wing” is another convo, but CNN is demonstrably democrats. That’s like denying Fox is “the republican one.”

          allow two Republicans to spend a huge amount of prime time on your news network spewing their false talking points unchallenged except by each other, I don’t know what to tell you.

          The entire network is a challenge to the republicans, they’re literally the news outlet of “the other side” as fox is to the republicans. Idk what to tell you dude.

            It seems you’re operating on old news. CNN has changed hands and its stakeholders expressly want CNN to be FOX.

            They’re happy leaving the libs MSNBC.

            Again- why did they devote a large block of prime time to allow Republicans to spew talking points unchallenged if that is true?

              My mistake, it has been brought to my attention that they have come under new ownership as of late and that my info is no longer true, that’s my bad.
