This thread, while I agree with OP's anger, is sadly a massive cope. Let's just face it, boomers won, they got unbelievably insanely extremely lucky and every choice they made in life was the lucky one, and we are now at their mercy. Try to dance around their games, and they'll punish you with (already mentioned in this thread) overregulation/red tape which really just amounts to the full cost of a house but you also have to deal with the delay headaches (oh and extremely shitty modern carpentry really just awful craftsmanship) on top of that. You'll have to pay outrageous amounts just for your repair to go wrong and for you to throw even more money down the drain with extra repairs and possibly lawyers.
