This isn't about generations it's about the cost of college education ballooning insanely in the 90s and 00s decades after boomers went to college

I understand generations arent real but the passage of time continues nevertheless

There's a big to-do here right now about an abandoned property being cleared to build an eight story apartment building. The local homeowners are shouting it down because it would harm their housing values.

here in Mass there is a law on the books that if your town/city are connected to any kind of public transportation or next to a town/city connected to public transport you must zone for high density development and allow apartments to be built

my little mass town has had many bitter public meetings about how these buildings are going to destroy their quaint little new england towns and how the wrong people will move in (mind you MA is like 98.7% white once you get outside Boston proper) meanwhile i am sitting here with my best SICKOS smile as the state forces towns to allow high density housing

It's mid day Friday before a holiday let's bring on the IPA chat. All the brewpubs did was hipsterfy and gentrify the old style saloon. What's old is new again now pick up your axe and throw it.

I was talking to my mom the other day and apparently this great garden and pet store near her closed and it got turned into a loving brew pub but this is Wisconsin so everything turning into a bar isn't that surprising.

The major league ballpark here is actively removing everything that is not revenue-generating space inside the park and replacing it with bars. All the cool old baseball exhibits, monuments, etc gone and replaced with $14 Miller Lites.
