    If it’s their only income source I assume they are retired. If they aren’t, you are absolutely right.

      Why do we have to sacrifice our future ability to retire and own a house because they bought all the houses and retired first?

          There are studies recently released that show that the people who are buying houses 20 years ago are the same people buying houses today. It is a zero-sum game because nobody else is able to buy a house, especially not if they’re younger.
