| Comment | I'll just add one more point - it might surprise you to learn that us younger folk *know all this already*. We know prices are crazy high, we know it's unwise to be bidding over home report value, we know people got hurt in 2008 but for fuck's sake we just want somewhere to live that we have some certainty over, where we can paint our own walls, where we can have some hope of not renting in perpetuity and having perhaps the opportunity to retire while we still have the last vestiges of health left.
Have you spoken to your own children about their actual experience of renting? What it's like to be working these shitty post-2008 insecure jobs and then going home to a place that isn't yours? Where the bathroom is going mouldy, you aren't allowed to paint over that woodchip, the energy performance is appaling, and in the back of your head the knowledge that at any moment in time you might get a letter serving you notice?
I'm aware you've deleted it but come on, posting about how you've made your money and then telling the next generation exactly how the drawbridge has been pulled up - as if they didn't know already - is some serious 'ok boomer' level shit. |
