Housing Update

I recently wrote a post called "Where we are headed". Part of the post was about housing and how some are calling for an end to home ownership. Now, from Australia, comes more of the same. It is an article about how the selfish, old baby boomers refuse to move out of their houses so that families can move in.

We are seeing baby boomers worldwide pitted against the younger generations. Pensions, housing and healthcare will be the battlegrounds. Who gets what. How do we allocate resources. Who is valued and who is not. I am not a baby boomer, I am like the kids on "That 70s Show". When I think of baby boomers, I think of kids from the 60s, hippies. The Hippies had a motto, "Don't trust anyone over 30".

Problem is, they taught that to their kids and they are now over 30, way over 30. You do reap what you sow. Many hippies rejected their parents, their life styles and their beliefs. It is ironic that the children of the hippies are being put at odds with their parents.
