    Isn’t that supposed to help to some degree? I thought part of the housing trouble was boomers staying in large homes too long meant less homes for younger families with kids to use.

      It will make it easier to get into homes with 3 or more bedrooms, but it makes it harder to get into smaller 1 and 2 bedroom “starter” homes.

      In my area I’m seeing that that the barrier between renting and owning a small home is bigger than the barrier between owning a small home and upgrading to a larger home.
