Really? How many cities were founded from scratch by Boomers? I'm in California, so let's think of the places that are having serious housing crises.

Oakland? San Francisco? Santa Monica? Los Angeles? Well before Boomers.

The small cities that are trying to bring in businesses without building any housing? Palo Alto? Menlo Park? Berkeley?

All of these places were within 25% of their current size by 1960. Boomers didn't build any of these communities from scratch; they may have grown up in them, but they're not special unique forebears that made everything around us.
