local jurisdictions will do a bunch of bullshit that hints at increasing density but they will never rip the bandaid off and actually make Single family into multifamily

even if I had enough money to buy some land, put a big ol' house on it, and then also have an in-law suite for when one of my parents inevitably dies before the other, i would have to think real hard about doing that if that parent happened to be my mother. bless that woman but i'm sure i'd die next from the stress

Elderly parents + one sibling who throws all-night keggers every weekend + other sibling with a wife and baby and real job is a very different dynamic from just “parents and kids”.

i've been thinking more and more about some sort of multi-family living arrangement as my parents and in-laws age we're not there yet, but when/if faced with putting them in some sort of managed care situation where someone who is underpaid, overworked, and has their own life stressors is taking care of my family as a job... i dunno, i'm close enough to all of them that I would make drastic life changes to avoid it the only thing that keeps my wife and i from doing it preemptively is that there are no loving jobs for us in areas that have actual multi-family homes we could afford (and "affording" those houses means pooling resources with everyone because lol we never could)

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:i've been thinking more and more about some sort of multi-family living arrangement as my parents and in-laws age having just watched my business partner go through this with his elderly mom (ten years older than my parents) it's goddamn awful and heartbreaking. our shop is physically attached to the house his mother lived in with his sister so they made a real earnest effort to provide for her but once mobility issues became more severe than "needs a cane" it was curtains. even with two able, willing and caring people, if those people are also working full days it becomes a mess. at least they found her a local place near family friends who can supplement the facility/community but holy poo poo. A catastrophic stroke/heart attack seems like it would be a blessing.

https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/M4639130746 The nastiest house I've ever viewed, the basement had a collapsed sewer line and unremediated water intrusion that made the entire house smell like poo poo from top to bottom. Didn't even bother going upstairs to view the bedrooms. Just went contingent lol

Wrecked her finances, destroyed basically all of her non-work social connections, and also nearly literally killed her from the combination of stress and being unable to deal with her own health issues. So, I mean, yeah. It's not really an easy or good solution when multigenerational living is packaged alongside a society that does not care if you live or die.

Caregivers die at a higher rate than those who are given care. As someone who was a caregiver off and on for someone in poor health for the better part of a decade, I still have a lot of trauma wrapped up in it. Especially since there were other people around me in my family who could have given care, but either didn't give a poo poo or waffled between not giving a poo poo and being worse at it than if they'd done nothing.

So, I mean, yeah. It's not really an easy or good solution when multigenerational living is packaged alongside a society that does not care if you live or die. Two years taking care of my Mom during cancer treatment, she died last October. I don't think I'll ever be 100% again, and I'm dreading Dad's decline. Unless multigenerational housing also includes several healthy, capable adults without kids of their own, it's not really a solution. Anyway, I enjoyed the Illinois anecdotes. Urbana sounds nice and affordable.

People pay the city expense because they like the idea of living in a city much like people buy guitars and pianos to buy into the idea of being a musician without ever using them.
