From CTV News (Bell Media):

"It might seem pretty rare to find a house with an elevator, but chances are higher you might find one in Calgary these days."

What an absurdly divisive title. As if every single boomer is buying an elevator right now specifically to spite other generations. Why not point out the more obvious demographic that is actually doing this: wealthy people. It was nothing to do with age and everything to do with how much disposable untaxed income you have lying around.

Age is absolutely relevant. Old people have trouble with stairs. Rich 30 somethings aren't buying elevators for the thrill.
