Wait until Zoomers and Millennials find out that the house grandpa bought was probably under 900 sq feet, didn't have any AC, had one bathroom and if he was lucky had 2 bedrooms for the 2 adults and 3 kids. And when he furnished it, at most the family had one 13" B&W TV (if they were lucky), the tiniest fridge and the washing machine probably had a handle which you needed to crank by hand and the dryer was the clothesline out in the tiny backyard.
Every prospective homebuyer under 35 these days would turn their nose to a house that small and with such few amenities. And god forbid it actually needed some work done to it. With how mechanically inept (and lazy) younger folks seem to be these days, they aren't even willing to look at cheap fixer-uppers to save money in exchange for sweat equity.
Hahaha, you're hilariously out of touch.
Zoomers and Millennials would be lucky to find a small home for sale, as greedy real-estate and construction industries have pretty much decided that building starter homes isn't profitable. My local 900 ft sq home costs just 20k less than a larger home, and they're all over 300k
Kids? Who can afford kids? Zoomers and Millennials aren't likely to be in the position to have multiple kids.
And its a lot easier to live without A/C pre-2000, you know, before people polluted the fuck out of everything we depend on to live
But go on claim a worldwide housing crisis is due to a generation of lazy people and definetly not due to giant investment industry that 's squatting on top of housing. Did you have to fight airBNB to get a bid in in your day, grandpa?
Hahaha the participation award line! you are old!
You're projecting grandpa. You were the participation award generation. You had it all handed to you and you preserved NONE of it for the next generation. And thats going to be the legacy of your generation.
Societies grow great when old men plant trees in whose shade they'll never sit, not when you raze the forest to the ground for 'as seen as TV' garbage from China, you asshole.
I wish I was old, but good luck using that an an insult. Clowns like you think anyone old enough to drink is just a few short years away from needing a cane.
Come up with more excuses for all your generation's failures. You're going to need a whole hell of a lot of them because those failures keep on coming.
Don't worry, when you come up with elders like yourself who start blaming the sins of the parents on the children by 5 years old (who really made participation awards happen? The kids or the parents?), you get pretty impervious to bullshit blame games.
I love the Gen X'rs who spout boomer "back in my day" lines with zero self-awareness that they're in the same boat as the rest of us.
They forget that they were the OG slacker generation, but maybe if they shit on millennials and zoomers enough the boomers will finally let them drive lmao!
Ah yes the classic blaming the children for what their parents did re: participation awards. No wonder you're so fucking stupid. I'm sure you had literally everything handed to you by your parents to have those views, because there's literally no fucking chance that someone who is actually working from nothing could possibly think like that. I refuse to believe that level of stupidity exists.
And who were the ones giving out participation awards?
It certainly weren't the Millenials nor Zoomers, we didn't care about those things.
I would love to even find a house like that on the market.
I've heard that before, then you tell someone they might have to add 10 minutes to their commute, or you tell them the closest Starbucks is 15 minutes away, or Gb internet wasn't offered, or some other lavish luxury that people are spoiled with these days wasn't available, and all of a sudden it is a dealbreaker.
Used to be in the /realestate sub on Reddit and the number of spoiled buyers who would endlessly complain about not being able to find a house was infuriating. And when you'd point out to them that with their budget maybe since they were single and had no kids, they might not actually need a 3 bedroom house, they would get all snippy.
I can't tell if you're a troll or legitimately brain dead. So good job either way
All those things I would gladly give up if it meant I don't have to burden my parents anymore.
I would buy that house in a heartbeat if I could afford it
You truly have no idea how zoning, home construction, or really anything works today and this very ignorance is informing your biases.
Man, I saw houses in Portland that were smaller than 900 sq ft, did not have central AC, no appliances, and had water damage and wires ripped from the walls above $200k. That's not the case in all markets, but it is for a great many. Get on Zillow and start looking around as if you were in the market. Ask yourself if you'd be willing to offer some of these asking prices.
