> it seems to reference property owners.

Yes. Millenials own property at the highest rate, age adjusted, in generations. (Anecdote: am Millenial. Own a home. Most of my friends do, too. Yes, it's a bubble, but it's a big one.)

> Where'd all of the value go?...(that's a rhetorical question)

No, it's not. It went to the people who bought houses. Including between 2019 and 2024.

Which generation's mode reached home-buying age in that interval, an interval also generously sprinkled with massive stimulus, a stock-market boom and forced consumption-reduction through stay-at-home orders? (That is a rhetorical question.)

"Yes. Millenials own property at the highest rate, age adjusted, in generations."

Age-adjusted?

So if you take out the fact that it took up more of the one resource that matters more than anything else to become property owners, then, yes, Millennials have more of it.

Which is kind of proving my point.
