It's not the fault of the people aging in place. It's the right financial move for them.

The country has been building wrong for their entire lives. And we're reaping the consequences now.

You hit the nail on the head with building wrong. We both stronger and more flexible building codes to encourage builders to build high quality, efficient housing (efficient for space for those for whom that is a priority and efficient for energy).
