Millennials are also much given to complaining about soaring housing costs. Is this problem attributable to Boomers?
Not really. If the idea is that Boomers drive up housing costs by selfishly suppressing supply through zoning regulations, I can assure you, based on decades of personal experience, that NIMBYism is not a peculiarly Boomer trait. To the extent that this is a generational issue, it is probably more due to Gen Z demands for housing with far more amenities than we enjoyed when we entered the market; however, I don’t really think it is a generational issue at all.
