I'm a generation X who also found it hard to buy a house.  After many years of saving I managed to buy a junky small house in a not great neighbourhood.  You know what?  No level of government was the slightest bit concerned about my difficulties.  No government concerned itself with the double digit interest that I was paying for my mortgage.  No government helped me get into the market or forced a drop in home prices so that  it would be easier for me.  Now that the older baby boomers have already cashed out, it's time to trash the equity of the Generation X'ers who, if anything, have had it just as hard or harder than millenials.
