I used to think generational fighting is stupid, but the stats are undeniable, boomers own much of the wealth. Boomers are least likely to vote far right, but they are more likely to vote down affordable housing because they don't want their property value to drop. That is an indirect support for the far right, because it leads to younger people being resentful and voting for populist far right who promise them the stars and blame the wrong types of people. This is a trend across the world. Generational and class conflict are one and the same in this case. Sorry to older folks of Lemmy, but older generations have become greedy.

and that's mostly rich people policy to end ownership.

we should be blaming rich people for that, not exactly boomers.

they are not. having savings and a house is not being rich.

it's just the old normal that applied to the older generations and would apply to us, if it weren't for actual rich people keeping our salaries low and expenses high.
