Yeah, true. Thanks to investors and the fact that we treat housing like a commodity that can be bought and sold, it was inevitable.

The only reason I was able to buy a house was because I live in bumfuck, South Dakota, I have a husband who applied for the loans along with me, and we got on two programs. But that was in 2019, and it's gotten worse since then, even here.

But yeah, I do understand what you're saying. I just think the blanket statements about entire generations are wack. They called us Gen Xers "slackers" in the 90s and said we didn't want to leave our parents basements, etc. -- they say the same shit about every generation, and it's like we get amnesia about it every time. It's so ignorant when I hear people my age say the exact same things about Gen Z and millenials that they said about us.
