And you can buy homes for 8k off Amazon, another Seattle Company.

Honestly, I'd do it. I'll buy some cheap land right by a highway and do it.

> that doesn’t mean much when houses and cars and colleges are multiple times the price

Cars are cheaper too, actually, given the much more stringent standards and features they meet compared to what you could have bought as a boomer.

Seriously, go back to the 70s if you want to buy the Pinto; even the cheapest car available to a U.S. owner now is lightyears improved and worth the cost. And more to the point, the more expensive cars are more expensive because people are willing to pay more for their car, not because building the car itself became more expensive.

Houses have more of a problem, it's true. Some of it is the same as with cars (i.e. people are demanding more to be included in a house than builders could get away with in the 70s). And you could very well buy relatively cheap houses even today.

But the real problem with housing is that localities have enacted policies, laws and zoning restrictions making it difficult to build housing--the prices after that simply reflect supply and demand. There's lots of blame to go around for this, including against boomer progressives.

But a good chunk of this is also because people today don't do what the boomers (and the silent generation before them) did when they were beginning their careers: move to where the good opportunities are.

As for colleges, that's supply and demand too, combined with loan programs that make it easy to demand a 5-star "college experience", thus blowing up demand far above what would naturally have been the case. The boomers bear blame for passing laws and policies that led to that but let's be honest: in that case, they're only doing what we would have told them to do!

But let's contrast that to what boomers did when they grew up. They didn't all go to college. Many went to trade schools and went on to good-paying careers doing hard work. But now Americans don't want to do "scut work" jobs like being linesman, construction and plumbing (but oddly, even progressives seem to be fine with minorities being left to take those jobs).

There are still lots of "dirty work" jobs out there, and they still pay comparatively well. But people don't want to do them. They want to take on six figures of college debt instead for the chance to play the office career game.

So I'm not going to sit here and say that boomers are completely blameless but I will say that it's hypocritical to focus blame on them when a good chunk of the issue is also due to unrealistic expectations on the part of my generation and younger ones. Boomers worked hard, opted to skip college unless their careers needed it, took shitty jobs, lived in shitty houses, attended shitty college facilities and dorms, and drove shitty cars to form the economy they did. Their descendants kept the "working hard" bit but seem to have ignored the rest.

But the one big thing that Gen X and younger don't realize is the boomers also got to benefit from a wrecked worldwide economy that artificially increased demand for American goods. Unless our millenials and post-millenials are going to blow up the rest of the world just so that we can force the rest of the world to come to us to rebuild (how progressive!), we need to recognize that the boomers were always going to look like an exceptional case, and not the norm.
