Growing economic inequality, if left unchecked, is going to make this an increasingly tough proposition. Wonder why the author of the article did not focus instead on encouraging older folks to be "a little more kind" by, for example, rescinding all of the exclusionary zoning laws that are making it so difficult for younger people to buy their first home? After all, what would be a better way to set an example for their children than practicing what the author is asking them to preach.
- kunai 7y agoDon't think you need to be this sanctimonious, as those two things aren't mutually exclusive. A child raised with a sociological imagination will eventually come to understand a housing shortage is unjust.
- selfishgene 7y agoThe phrase "eventually come to understand" isn't cutting it for me since I'd like to buy a house in the next year or two. But thanks for trotting out the word "sanctimonious" because I haven't seen that one in use since I studied for the SAT several decades ago.
