I collect things, but I have clear paths to travel in my house. This seems like another waste of tax money. I doubt that the problem is that widespread that they need to spend our money on it. Soon, the police will be inspecting people's homes and ticketing them for keeping "too much" junk. Worse yet, home owners associations will probably write into their covenants that no more than X amount of house space can contain clutter.

"Most of this new attention is not coming from the mental health side of things, because many people with this problem don't seek help. It's coming from the housing side and services to the elderly."

As an apartment manager, I have seen this problem way to often. Some people can't part with anything. When my maintenance staff has to repair something in the apartment, it is nearly impossible because there isn't a flat surface in the whole place that isn't covered in junk.

In Nashville, only 25% 0f your total plot can be driveway and it must be graveled or paved; don't park your Yugo on a blade of Pokeweed.

As if those communes don't have enough ways to bug the homeowners...
