No, they’re looking to tax spare bedrooms...

Betcha.

Deep States all use the same playbook. From the UK, apologies for the source...

Really. Talk about “none of your business.”

Obama & The Gang would love to fill your spare rooms with their illegal invaders. You know the drill...

No, they’re looking for seniors gullible enough to invite illegals to invade their homes.

I don’t have any spare bedrooms. I have a 1 bedroom, 1 office and 1 dog room house.

It was nice going into retirement and moving from a big house in a big city to a small house in a small town, less to clean and repair but more garden to play in.

Spare bedrooms? I don't think so. In my house, one bedroom is for sleeping, a second bedroom is my office, and a third bedroom is a storage room for all the stuff I've collected over seventy years of living. Dare I mention the garage?

Downsizing is a major effort for all the seniors I know. It's especially hard for those with just-in-case mania -- they can't stand to throw anyone away: "My family once gave away a long-unused parakeet cage, and the next day we rescued a parakeet from the curb of our house."

Let's face it, some seniors measure their worth in the amount of stuff they have.

Great!

All our seniors can “host” the 2 million imminently migrant Palestinian residents.

Selling a house is an expensive and annoying process.

Packing and moving is a big hassle.

Then there is the problem of investing the proceeds.

I predict the start of the campaign to make seniors who have the ability to stay and enjoy their homes sound selfish and completely inconsiderate of the younger people.

They will start pushing for seniors to open up their homes to help others....and earn a little extra money (which they will tax) at the same time.

This will serve two purposes. It will help with their housing shortage that they’ve created, and it will give them a place for more illegals, another created problem.

Sadly, some of these seniors will fall for it, as they’re good people, and fall for these guilt trips. Truly a disgusting ploy.

Hush, Now! As soon as Brandon finds out about this, he’ll sign an Executive Order forcing anyone with a spare bedroom to house a dozen or so illegals under their roof!

*SPIT*

But the surge of millions of illegals has no impact on housing prices. /s

"aging in place"

Everyone is "aging in place" because there is no escape from death. That's all there is and there ain't no more. End of story.

Aging in place??? These elders worked and endured all that they had to in order to have a home to live their years out! What a cold phrase.

Sounds like “Die, Senior, Die. For the good of the country.”

Forget the fact that you scrimped, saved, went without, worked hard, sacrificed for your kids your entire life and now your reward in your Golden Years is living in your own home. Nope, you are selfish with those empty bedrooms. Why, three or four illegal families could be living in your spare bedrooms.

There are evil monsters among us.

Keep pushing the Vax (Reminds me of the movie “Soylent Green”) and they’ll get their new, pricey mortgages for the greedy bankers.
