But still, there is already a foot-long list of overdue federal policy changes that would at least begin to fortify our future and reknit the safety net. Even amid the awfulness of our political moment, we can start to build a platform to rally around. Raise the minimum wage and tie it to inflation. Roll back anti-union laws to give workers more leverage against companies that treat them as if they’re disposable. Tilt the tax code away from the wealthy. Right now, rich people can write off mortgage interest on their second home and expenses related to being a landlord or (I'm not kidding) owning a racehorse. The rest of us can’t even deduct student loans or the cost of getting an occupational license.
The housing market has been artificially propped up by the tax code for decades, and you can’t have it both ways – wanting to eliminate the real estate tax deductions that benefit the wealthy, but also wanting home prices to be more affordable.

But if those artificial props go away, prices should come down, that makes sense. I didnt read that in the article, just regarding that statement.

Well as a baby boomer I guess I am a member of the generation that screwed up the planet and destroyed the social safety net. Give me a break. Plenty of millennials seem to being doing well because they post here all the time. I have several millennial nieces who whine about their circumstances. I could not read that entire article TL;DR. My observation based on whining that I have heard is from millennials who majored in something unemployable while running up student loans. Oops.
