Here is another rant by a reporter with a very foreign name,Giulia Carbonaro, who could be an illegal alien, trying to convince American elders to leave their big houses so she can occupy it.
Ain’t going to happen.
Note how this is written. “Refusing” to “give up” their homes.
It’s subtle how they word it. So of course if someone “refuses to give” something up it must be taken from them somehow.
That’s the next step. It’s for the children, of course.
L
Maybe because their kids are still living with them, into adulthood.
You didn’t earn that.
i don’t see a problem here unless a buncha realtors are coveting the properties of others. who cares if someone wants to stay in their house? looks to me like someone is laying the groundwork for some government agency to dictate who can own what house.
they would have to pay taxes on any large gains, where is they simply hold on to it and pass it on when they die the basis gets reset and their heirs can then sell it with no tax bill.
Rents have spiraled with greedy landlords.
It couldn’t **possibly** be becuase homes hold value better than finanical investments, especially in the case of Joetato’s plan to tax unrealized capital gains. . .
Can’t you wait until I’m dead?
Is this a requirement?
These laws are different state by state, I presume?
I don’t know about them but I got too much stuff to downsize!
Anyone need some figurines?
Maybe it’s because it’s no on else’s business where they live
I also noticed that Giulia Carbonaro failed to mention that Biden’s importation of millions of illegal aliens into the USA is a major reason why there is a housing shortage.
Hopefully, FJB and his minions won't eff up my retirement plans.
It’s nobody’s danged business what kind of house I choose to live in.
Nobody is obligated to give up what they worked hard for all their lives to accommodate others.
What’s creating the *inventory shortage* is flooding the country with illegals who are taking up housing that would be available if they weren’t here.
Absurd premise.
Retirees often have moved during their golden years, but it wasn’t always to downsize, but to live somewhere practical and enjoyable for their lifestyle, as they were no longer tied to living near a job, or where there are good schools for their children.
The problem is construction.
There never used to be a shortage of builders willing to meet the demand for population growth and movement and for new generations.
Our economy and culture is so dysfunctional, we aren’t building like we used to.
The commies obviously don’t think your house belongs to you.
These days a “much smaller house” costs a ridiculous amount anyway, so it really isn’t a good financial move to sell. I am alone in a very large house, but I’m content here. For now.
