Housing seems to be the primary issue, but you’ll find very little support for actually fixing the issue - more and taller buildings in densely populated areas.

I don’t think people have a problem with spending more on education, they just want a reasonable return on investment for it. Turns out pumping money into monopolistic schools doesn’t get you a better result

The olds don't want it because it decreases the value of their boomer bank account (houses) and being old, don't like change in general.

The boomer generation was more or less promised that housing was the key to social mobility. And it was for a large number of people. It's hard for that to remain true now, and there's a ton of negative externalities. It's not like these people were experts on real estate policy before, they just don't have perspective on how it differs for the young.

"Not liking change" is disingenuous, even if, broadly speaking, older people don't actually like change
