A Generational Divide

A Generational Divide

In housing’s realm, a divide takes hold,
Boomers reign supreme, the story unfolds.
Empty nesters bask in homes large and grand,
While millennials with children struggle to expand.

The market tilts, a lopsided scale,
Where dreams of space for families pale.
Boomers’ clasp on housing is firm and tight,
As younger ones yearn for a similar sight.

Empty rooms echo with memories gone,
As empty nesters keep their dwellings strong.
Their hold on the past feels unbroken, intact,
While another generation longs to extract.

Millennials with kids dream of more,
A place to call home where hearts can soar.
Yet burdens weigh heavy upon their shoulders,
As the search for affordable roofs grows bolder.

Cherished traditions and comforts untold,
Boom in the houses where the Boomers take hold.
But what of the young who dare to aspire,
For roots and foundation they too desire?

The gap persists, the divide prevails,
As the housing market teeters on unjust scales.
Only through change and shifts can we find a way,
To bridge the gap and create a fairer day.
