well - at the end of the day my message is that the perspective of the article is misguided.

the problem is not too many baby boomers - the problem is unafordable and unavailable space to live.

also in Germany this is a topic - resurging in regular intervals. the nationalistic perspective is "migrants take our flats" - when in fact its the government failing to either provide flats funded by the state or influencing the market to prevent excessive rents and encourage building of cheap apartments.

it's effectively a more or less intended divide and conquer strategy - have the people fight each other then they won't fight for changes of the status quo.
