Why do boomers like these real estate shows so much?

For me it’s grand designs, and particularly the episode with the two rich gays bragging about the size of their shower room where “you can have a whole rugby team in there”
The disgust on Kevin’s face was palpable

I imagine the boomer who wrote that nervously looking around and chuckling to himself.

Sounds pretty funny

I bought a 1,100sq ft house in 2018 for $65,000 (almost tripled in value since then, by the way) Affordability isn't the problem, it's that the housing/lending crisis of 2008 turned a lot of us off the idea of having a mortgage.

The meme in OP started because a lot of those real estate shows from the early 2000's were filmed in Canada. $1 USD was 1.6 maple pesos in 2002.

>mom is obsessed with shows where they flip houses
>gets a windfall of cash (100k+)
>buys a condemned crack house for 15k, takes 2nd mortgage on first house
>gets ripped off by contractors
>200k+ in debt now
>constantly begs me for money, tries to convince me to cosign loans, etc
>doesn't care about my student loans
real estate shows are cancer, they feed into the boomer mentality that whoever has the most toys wins

Why doesn't she sue the contractors? And she was dumb to buy a crackhouse since the location was probably shit.

for me, it's the cook's kitchen ladies. my stomach and dick join forces anytime i watch then, and nigga, i get HUNGRY

>watching anything other than informative restoration shows that don't get any more dramatic than what's actually happened to the structure beyond a little local history

>Affordability isn't the problem
Housing under Biden vs housing under Trump definitely made affordability a problem

Good on you for securing a great deal but most people looking for homes are struggling

>blonde

Yes. There's a reason everything went to shit as soon as millennials got old enough to vote and enter the job market. Lazy tranny parasites that only care about gay sex and getting high.

I love you Tom Silva

Because suing costs money and when you're dumb enough to hire random contractors without references it can difficult to track them down. She'd be better off hiring some of the thugs around the corner to go break his legs. Yes she was dumb, if you google worst places in the state she lives in, the city she bought a house in shows up. She swears it's due for revitalization, but maybe in a decade, not now.

i thought the tranny fad took off with zoomers

That's some impressive rewriting. Though I do agree that millennials will continue to shit up politics until the country burns.

>first millennials get old enough to vote and enter job market around 2005-2008
>also when the country started to fall apart
just a coincidence

Because 18 year olds hold so much economic power.

>millennials old enough to take field trips to world trade center
>next day not one but two fucking planes crash in to them

>teenage millennials caused the country to fall apart
>teenage millennials causes the recession
>teenage millennials are the reason I'm a KHHV
>teenage millennials are the reason I'm only 5'6

Generational whining are this website at its most annoying

The housing market collapsed in 2008 because the feds forced banks to give mortgages to dumb niggers with shitty credit who obviously couldn't pay the loans back.

Boomers inherited a good country and their greed fucked it up for everyone else

Must of happened while all the boomers were taking a shit or something, right?

HGTV lets me see ideas in action and gauge if they're actually any good. Ill probably never have the stones to actually try renovating, especially when my house still has like 40k owing, but I can live vicariously through reno shows.

they will never admit this. Milennials are a pretty fucked up bunch desu, but boomers really sold us down the river.

nice, way to de legitimize my argument purely on the basis of grammar.

based

I didn't read beyond the first two words.

guess what's happening right now

Don't post like an ESL retard next time then maybe your argument will hold water. Until then you're basically the equivalent of a brown skin.

This bothers me too. Its not just a typo, its a fundamental misunderstanding of the English language. There's is a 0% chance the person you're talking to isn't retarded.

Based. Comfy This old house boomers rise up

ok boomer

It's idiots writing what they hear. Just say a regular sentence and replace have with of and they'll see how stupid it is -- maybe.

No cap fr fr straight bussin'. Stunt on em user, on god.

Because they own homes, unlike the majority of the rest of us.

My mom watched this shit the entire day. Girlfriend's mom does the same. I don't get what the fuck is wrong with them.

>visited my friend's 65 year old conservative parents in their new $500k+ house
>cost of housing and rent and inflation come up
>they tell us they're struggling too, they have to be careful with money now that they're back from their Mexico trip

>visit my 65 year old turbolib parents a few days later in the house I grew up in now worth over $1 million
>cost of housing and rent and inflation come up
>they tell us it was bad when they were our age too, it will get better and then we can own a home that will appreciate 10x in value
I have lost hope in boomers, it doesn't matter what ideology they belong to. It's embarrassing to be around

Not him but while I understand what you are saying, you have to understand that the younger generation can always feel agitation with the older generation for not being the ones who started calling for effective change to our society. That's largely why I hate Gen Xers for being useless retards who surfed the wave of collapse that boomers created

Boomers get off on witnessing them take a house and flip it while adding no actual value.

This is not true though
The guy is always some IT-expert or manager at a large company

How the fuck do people afford afford rent let alone actually buying places in cities like vancouver

And the woman is like a yoga instructor

If people generally watch these for escapism I think there is something rotten in the country they live in.

It depends on where you live maybe. In my area houses have been increaseing price 15% each year since the beginning of COVID. It's nearly unaffordable as in if you sell your house in the area you probably can't buy in the same area. Some of it is trying to beat investors and out of state/country rich folk.
>got outbid on a house that I bid $50k over asking price for

My favorite is Grand Designs when they fly a shipping container to a bog coast and the landscape designer pays 1.2 million pounds for it and the sustainable host praises his bravery and claims it's not that expensive since it's a lifetime investment.

They are produced to demoralize you.

my favourite was an episode where a fat builder spent his life savings on renovating a shipping container into a canal boat to live on with his mail order bride.

While there is no love lost between me(zoomoid) and millennials and I hate you for alot of things you've done, I am not so cruel as to say you even had a chance in the first place. Millennials really were the first generation fucked before they were even born. They stood no chance from what boomers sowed years before. They are still an active impediment to fixing things, just a pitiable one

>"This house was built in the 1700s, and was used as a station house during the Revolutionary War. During the 1800s it was a stop in the underground railroad. During the age of prohibition it was used as a secret speak-easy. During WW2 it was used as a spy house to monitor for German and Japanese activities in America. We're gonna tear a ton of shit out to modernize it!"

Old-house "restorers" need to be shot.
