I know some nimby boomers and agree that's exactly what they say but I don't see why they can't move they don't need to be there for economic reasons they could buy 3x the house in some costal town much further from the city. Young people generally want to be near cities because that's where the jobs are.
- jjav 5y ago> but I don't see why they can't move If your position is that a non-resident can come into town and force a long-time resident to have to move out just because they want to take their place, how is that ok?
- viraptor 5y agoIf they're actually boomers, they likely have some kind of social network in their area, they have habits, they have families relatively close, etc. Actual boomers are close to 70yo and that's not the age, where many are ready for a life change. 3x the house in some coastal town they have no meaningful connection to is not going to appeal to a lot of them.
- ericmay 5y ago> but I don't see why they can't move they don't need to be there… What does it matter? They bought property just like any other person in America. If you work remote does that mean you should have to live in the middle of nowhere to free up space for someone who commutes?
- MomoXenosaga 5y agoOld people usually need medical care. I see it with my own, she starts the day taking half a bucket of pills lol. Are there care workers or hospitals in the area? Maybe they can no longer drive a car? In which case you're basically stranded in the countryside.
