Shawn: @shawn_dimartile&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;   Mike: @miketighe_         In this episode, Shawn DiMartile and Mike Tighe discuss the housing market inventory shortage, examining its potential link to baby boomers. They analyze a Bloomberg article suggesting baby boomers' reluctance to sell their homes contributes to the shortage for younger families. The hosts offer their perspectives, supported by data, and discuss NIMBYism's impact on housing development in affluent areas. The episode concludes with a discussion on the government's role in addressing the shortage and the importance of balanced decision-making.    Here's what you can expect from the episode:            Baby boomers holding onto homes contributes to housing inventory shortage, but sole blame is unfair. Sentimental attachment and financial factors drive decisions to stay, including low mortgage rates and retirement plans. NIMBYism, especially in affluent areas, hampers housing development and worsens shortages. Government should prioritize housing needs, balance with existing homeowner concerns. More housing supply improves infrastructure, spurs economic growth for all residents.
