Ranting about Millennials isn't doing anything to further your point.

But that is the entire point of the article we are all commenting on, isn’t it?

People are upset that they can’t move into an already-gentrified neighbourhood at pre-gentrification prices

No. They're upset because the cost of housing isn't high simply due to gentrification, but due to an artificially created shortage, which can be easily remedied if not for the stubbornness of the people who got there first.

And ranting about Millennials like a hack elderly comedian doesn't do anything for your point except make people disregard it.
