Hey, an even simpler solution is to just kill the old people and take their homes. Saves on social services costs, provides habitat space for young people, and gets government off the hook for doing anything real to solve the problem..

This is nice and all. But in no way is it a replacement for building more housing.

UC Berkeley started a similar program recently, pairing students with people with extra rooms. It's a good short term stopgap but probably not a long term solution.

It would be interesting to see the "open bedroom count" in the US as well. It really is a great concept. Housing needs to be more "fluid".

In fairness, every province except Alberta has the approximate demographic structure of Japan in 15 years. In practice I'd rather *build housing* now because there is that 15 years wait, but in 15 years "Pick a senior, get in on their house" makes sense.

Also, it only makes sense in Canada. If you do it in the USA, our demographics do NOT suck, and we actually need housing.
