I believe you mean greediest. I was born in 1961 so I can speak somewhat for boomers. A seminal moment in my life was watchin "The Big Chill". If one wants to watch a movie about the boomers that's it. Now, the movie is NOT exactly about the boomers, but some of the the parents of the boomers and the very first boomers. In it, they discuss how they have become status-focused and interested only in materialism. It also takes aim at the growing focus on sexual liberation (really sensual selfishness).

The next seminal moment for me was reading "The Bell Curve" Contrary to all the people who want to make it about racism against blacks, it's really about the potential changes to society IF intelligence is genetically passed on (or not). Boomers will NOT talk about the questions the book raises. They call it racist without ever having read it.

What we ended up with, is boomers who joked about the fact that all they care about is money and status. And then ignore the fact that it's possible (not saying it's happening) that lower intelligence people are having more babies than higher intelligence people and--this is most important--they are being ghettoized, separated from society.

Murrey points out that in his day it was common to have a plumber living next door to a doctor. The same today. You don't have a young person working at Google living next to someone who worked at the Amazon warehouse. Because Boomers have made it impossible to talk about genetics, or rights between different educational backgrounds (say Ivys vs community colleges) the young generation today can't see how they might have adopted a genetics-based class system.

The real problem of housing is not that young people can't afford it. The problem is they see no hope of EVER affording it. NYC has always been expensive. When I was young I could see a time when I'd own it. Two of my daughters see no such possibility.
