      Hey wasn’t Ford started by Henry Ford? It’s an equally relevant question.

      Are you a boomer going for some sort of gotcha here or something? Karl Marx could have started Airbnb and it wouldn’t change the situation we’re in now so…what does it matter?

          But you’re the one inserting a generational war here, not me.

          I was explaining the difference between buying a home in the 80s and buying one now and why boomers DID have it easier in that regard because you made a dumb joke about young people thinking boomers got free houses. Then in response you pulled out some unrelated millennial bullshit…? I didn’t even say BOOMERS held the rentals…I said prior generations weren’t hoarding real estate.

          Neither of your replies have addressed the comments you replied to. You just kinda made up an enemy to argue with.

          Millennials barely own homes, we have much lower home ownership rates and that’s only dropping more with each subsequent generation.

      Who cares? It could’ve been started by anyone but the point remains: airbnb has had a negative influence on housing affordability.
