Boomers existed in a society were everything were not sold yet. Were every pieces of land was not occupied and optimized yet.

Now the theater is full.

It's not that boomers earned much and today a lot of people earn too little.

Is that then things were less rare than today compared to the demand.

Also, I earn way more than my father and grand-father, and my life style just cannot be compared, nor the energy I consume or waste I produce.

So as an IT guy, no, this is not enough to explain it. And boomers were certainly not divas. Their working conditions were definitly not as good as in IT today.

The country isn’t really full even if the Bay Area, NYC, and other large metros are.

At a certain point the cost of living disparities will move people to up and coming cities. Some of the teleworking gains from the pandemic are being wound back. But it’s still a view of the future.
