At least coming from L.A., in SoCal it has ALWAYS been that way, it has always been tough for the 20 somethings to buy their first home and get started,
Well at least as long as this boomer has been here,
(with the exception of the last three years actually which I think have been exceptional for first time buyers WHO Were not TOO DANG PICKY!!!).
inflation for as long as this boomer has been alive has always been the home buyers friend, if they can make it the first 10 years.
