As a mid 30?s middle of the range conservative CO native that grew up in extreme rural CO. Here are my thoughts that carry as much merit as can be had on a forum.
My grandparents and then later my older aunts and uncles where able to purchase a home larger and ?nicer? than mine that was much newer at the time. I am pretty much buying 2 generations of starter home as my first and current home in the montview and Dayton area.
It was built in 52. They where able to buy this home on a single earner low level blue collar job while supporting 5 family members. They lived a comfortable life.
The people getting 15 dollars an hour right now to perform the tasks marked minimum wage will never be able to afford a home on the front range. And they haven?t been able to for decades.
There is a significant portion of the population that will never advance past entry level for what ever reason. The ones that can will.
The boomers have been very effective at making the most of the cards they where dealt to make sure they are sufficiently padded for the rest of their lives and if successful enough their children?s. A large portion of making sure this happens is politics and passing legislation as such. Which is fine but they can?t complain when the 3 generations alive younger than them are trying to get their slice the pie too including with legislation.
