    Love this idea: a startup, @nesterlyhome, that pairs young adults and elder empty nesters.https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2018/10/20/gets-cheap-rent-she-gets-companionship-and-help-around-house-could-this-curious-roommate-pairing-solution-housing-crisis/sS87tL8fqB5QH8LewzpmZJ/story.html …

        Yeah, it very lovely that the elderly have to pay for companionship and the young can't afford housing.

        For accuracy sake, he's paying her. And while we're left for the most part to the devices of free market, this is a terrific concept...especially for those of us in the high property tax/housing cost northeast.

        The revolutionary market idea here is that the elderly person is paying for companionship by offering cheap rent. It's called opportunity costs.

        True. Since reality, for now, in many places = greater opp cost for people with too much house + high staying *and* switching costs, or who are alone w/less house but needing upkeep so they can sell at market rate vs to a developer, I think this is a great idea.

        We’ve been doing that for years in Madison WI. A local agency, Independent Living, matches elders with those wanting a place to live who will help those elders. Thorough investigation and careful agreements for both have made this very successful.

        And we need senior centers to become preschools. Bringing generational wisdom full circle.

        And yet, staying in your parents home, as is done around the world, carries social stigma!

        I did this in final year med school in 2001. Happy memories of a haven in the midst of a busy year. My "nest host" turned 80 earlier this year and it was lovely to be host a birthday party for her at my home.

        This is a brilliant idea, didn’t seem like an option when I was a young single dude but would have preferred this arrangement 10x over any number of roommates in my demographic at the time
