Every generation? Hardly, it more or less started with the “silent generation” that returned from WWII and gave birth to the boomers.
But back to the topic at hand, obviously a house in the burbs with a giant yard is quite appealing during a lockdown, but assuming WFH remains after the pandemic abates, I think we’ll see different preferences start to influence the market.
For me personally my home is now my workplace, which made me pickier about what’s in my immediate vicinity… millennials love their lattes and having them in walking distance may be more important than a garage full of toys.
