    Boomers loved it because there was still property left to scoop up. Now we are literally playing a full board after some boomer bankrupted all the other players and bought everything.

      Agreed, but it’s not “some boomer”, it’s giant corporations. Sure, some boomers are profiting handsomely off their rentals/lake houses/AirBNBs/etc. But that individual greed will never match the boards of directors full of the same types of people, all enriching themselves on a giant scale by profiteering off our need to have shelter.
