We have special neighborhoods that are 55+ only, it would be a huge boon if we had subsidized housing for young married couples full of other families.

Boomers would never allow it. Discrimination they’d say. Rules for thee, not for me.

Those special houses are not "subsidized". They are currated for people who don't want to live with younger folks and the "issues" that follow them.

You are conflating issues, there is nothing stopping a developer from creating a "35-" development (Except a market of course).

They may be subsidized (sort of) in that they pay lower taxes, on the theory that they’re not sending anyone to school at that age.

And age discrimination in housing is actually illegal, the 55+ and 65+ situations are special exclusions.

I'd be down, that means young people can't actually own houses, unheard of for my generation.

But yes, it's no secret older folk either have better financial safeties that degraded by millenial/Gen Y (pension, social secrutity) and generally make more money. Great market to appeal to. Meanwhile, the 23- market takes out an un-bankruptable 100k over 4 years hoping to climb through the cracks.
