The sarcastic section fooled me because it sounds exactly like so many internet blowhards.

There's a lot of quality points on both sides:

Side A (market is unfair): NIMBYism, minimum/median wage not growing as fast as price increases, major governmental help to prior generations (inexpensive college, taxes based on purchase price etc)

Side B (gotta make your own way): All property is a privilege not a right (at best you have a _need_ to rent not to own), don't pile in to an overpriced city if wages do not make it make financial sense, lifestyle inflation has very real aggregate consequences (avocado toast, cell phones, global travel etc), people used to live together far more and in less space, yes your wages have declined in real terms but globalization has fought price inflation on goods
