Very underrated topic! TV is part of the problem but Id just got further and say its pop culture altogether. That and the youth today and of yesterday aren't taught how to accumulate wealth, invest, understand taxes, etc.

Notice the gates to the Prison are "open". This is because the first lesson is self control. The two guards are actually trustees. We intend people in prison to eventually rejoin society don't we?

Take the 4th picture for example "3 Generation home". We have a picture of a nice five story home built right onto the ocean, with the family yacht in in the foreground. This would include Grand parents, Parents, and all the kids, aka 3 generations.

.

Now consider what TV says over and over again as a "major insult". They say "I bet you still live in your mother's basement", or "probably a basement dweller". Why is TV so dead set against mutigenerational homes?

Is it because they are against multigenerational wealth?

They ARE against multigenerational wealth, openly. They want the state to take all estates after death and have zero inheritance. They don't see that they could save up and transfer that wealth to their children.

Just going to say I’m pretty sure falling water is the most expensive thing pictured here

It was intended to imply each young family would get a custom made home designed by a great architect.

We used to respect Architects, Lawyers, Doctors in this country, instead of Actors, Athletes, and Singers.
