[quote=FlyerInHi]So this whole anti-immigration thing is about your quiet lifestyle. You want the world frozen in time to protect your lifestyle.
See, I like it lively and busy. I want change and I want people already born on this earth to do better. Let them come and create something new. And let us be surprised by the new creations.
Interesting article. All but one of these grandparents who relocated to NYC to take care of grandchildren while their parents worked sold very cheap homes in FL to do so. The other sold a home in MD a couple of years after relocating (which isn’t that expensive if located >40 mi from DC). They are ALL paying at least $2750 in monthly rent in NYC/Brooklyn. Unless these grandparents have a really large pension, I can’t see how they can go from minimal housing expense to ~$3K month just for rent. So their children must be paying their rent (or a big portion of it).
What happens when their grandkids get too old to need (or want) a caregiver? Are the children’s parents still going to pay their mom’s (exorbitant) rent every month?
If I was already over 65 yrs old, I would NOT want to sell my <=$170K home to take a chance like this as there are so many variables that could blow up my housing situation. It's sheer folly.
Glad that these women are happy in their golden years.
