[quote=The-Shoveler]That’s a myth, They really want the same things boomers did, there is just a small minority that wants to live the urban life style, but they are much hyped.[/quote]My “millenial” kids made themselves scarce when it was time to mow the lawn, weed and tend to the gardens (clipping, hedging, transplanting, fertilizing, hauling bags of dirt, etc, etc) over the years. I’m here to tell you that they DON’T WANT this kind of life. It’s wa-a-a-ay too time consuming when their time could be better spent twitter-twitting on the way to check out the latest micro-brewery in wine country in their “spare” time, lol….
Now, if they could start their OWN micro-brewery in said wine country, they would elect to have a gardener to assist them on their 2+ AC lot 😛
Meanwhile, the likes of Kelseyville are filling up with boomer vacation-home buyers who are slowly and steadily pricing the millenials out of their “pipe dreams” to (prematurely) exit the 9-6 grind in SF and SV. This is at least one typical pipe dream of millenial biz-degree holders who are NOT carrying any student loans (my kids never took any out). We’ll see how all this turns out over the coming years.
I’m a boomer who has recently been “priced out” of several of these “bucolic” towns myself (with 60-100+ yo housing) :-0
