Its not that they wouldn't care, its just unintentional blindness to issues that plague young people, likely people of an older age can afford housing while younger people can't and thus is confused what the big fuss is. Or its just for older generations, they are more concerned about older problems or politics from previous times in the 1980s like combatting marijuana or like same-sex marriage while young people have issues stemming that are more relevant to 2000s like internet and social media addiction.

- user5994461 7y agoMost of the 60+ plus people I know have long paid their mortgage, on a home bought long ago that was less than a decade of salary. They often have multiple properties and rent to the younger generations. It's not uncommon that they fail to understand why their children can't afford to buy a flat, while they had theirs in their early twenties.
- b_tterc_p 7y agoTrue, the median of tomorrows old will probably have less than the median of todays old. But the median of tomorrows old will still have more than the median of tomorrow’s youth.

Well, they also have several decades of working, investing, and accumulating wealth on them, so why wouldn't they? The question isn't whether "the median of tomorrows old will still have more than the median of tomorrow’s youth" but whether the median of tomorrows old will have more than the the median of tomorrows youth when said youth gets old itself.
