[QUOTE="for.petes.sake, post: 1259085, member: 15445"] In terms of progressive and economic polices boomers and left-wing millennials are very different. A lot of left wing millennials say that boomer's choices have screwed over millennials but millennials keep choosing to be screwed over. Here is a vice video of a guy complaining about high rent prices and how to stop it: [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5xKz5AcuXE[/URL] His solution, rent control. Basically severely regulate rent prices. He gives an example of a rent controlled house where the prices have not gone up since the 70s. Never mind the fact this will severely hurt landlords because inflation, demand, and upkeep (because services will increase with inflation). He then states: "but naturally anything that helps out actual people and takes money out of some rich assholes pockets is going to face a lot of opposition. Critics of URC have said policies like these will disincentive landlords from or staying on top of building upkeep. They've also said it disincentives further real estate development which to me people not wanting to gentrify your neighborhood" When he was met with valid arguments against UCR his retort was that those are invalid since they would be promoting "gentrification". Rent is high because of supply and demand. On the supply side we have too many stupid regulation preventing development. Even when they are met if development hurts someones feelings then it can still get shut down (here is a video showing how development gets stopped in San Francisco because of gentrification [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExgxwKnH8y4[/URL]) On the demand side, stupid progressive polices like mass immigration has brought in thousands of people who are now competing for these housing units. Yet the millennial blames the economics and not his own stupid progressive ways. [/QUOTE]
