Honestly just be like most people and live in the house and let it rot, at least they will be comfortable in a home they are familiar with.

And I’m not trying to shit on your parents but moreso the state we are in that, as you said, it makes no sense for them to make a move when “down sizing” to sonthing else is going to be a substantial portion of the equity they have in their home.

People talk about the “missing middle” all the time but we also haven’t created a scenario where there is acceptable housing for people like your parents to give up their detached home into, what should be, a comfortable situation. So boomers and older all just stay in their home until they physically cannot, and I don’t blame them
