You just don’t see neighborhood photos like this anymore because most young parents don’t own homes. Under-30s make up just 4.7% of mortgage holders in major metros (despite being 20% of adults there), and the median homeowner is now 56!

That’s why most neighborhoods or suburbs feel empty: they’re owned by older people whose kids are grown, while younger families—priced out by decades of money-printing that inflated assets and stole from the future—are renting apartments.

Their generation borrowed from our children’s prosperity without permission; Bitcoin is the peaceful opt-out.
