    Baby Boomers with empty nests own TWICE as many large homes
    as millennial families, study finds

    Boomers facing a bad real estate market are holding on to
    their family homes, making it harder for millennials to
    buy bigger residences for their kids

    . . .

    Strategically, they SHOULD hold on to those nice homes
    for now. The markets recently have been a huge MESS and
    they could not even "trade down" and make money.

    The better ideal these days, for middle-aged+ people,
    is probably a "generous 2+2" ... slightly less square
    feet with an emphasis on larger BRs/Kitchen/Baths.

    Younger "family" people need more BRs ... 3 or 4
    depending ... and can skimp a little on the rest.
    Shit, my kiddie home had one 8x10 bathroom - a
    tight squeeze and lots of "Are you DONE yet ???" :-)
    However, while un-stylish, it worked. Fortunately
    it was the 'countryside' and the males at least
    could just go outside and piss on a tree .....

    Note that the "family people" are generally NOT
    gonna be Euro-Derived 'white' people anymore in
    the USA, but 'hispanics'. The euro-derivs are
    writing themselves out of the gene pool by their
    own hands. They don't think they need 12 kids,
    and kids ARE a pain, so they won't HAVE them ...
    maybe NONE. Same story across the 1st world.
    Weird ... "success" = extinction.

    Note 'boomers' - re-elect the 'Woke' and they
    will scheme against you, FORCE you to surrender
    your properties to the 'immigrants'. The words
    are written on the subway walls at this point.
    Act cautiously.
