Debunking the Housing Affordability Myth

In this episode of 'The Tenth Man', the host tackles the pervasive myth that housing has become unaffordable for younger generations due to the actions of Baby Boomers. By dissecting misleading comparisons often circulated by influencers, the host argues that the quality, size, and features of modern homes have drastically evolved from those in 1970, making direct price comparisons invalid. The episode also addresses how influencers use deceptive statistics to stir outrage and asserts that affordable housing options still exist. The key takeaway is that today's housing narrative lacks truth and is driven by misinformation aimed at generating clicks rather than offering genuine guidance.
