I know this is just anecdotal, but I know dozens of my generation that have had to move back in with their parents -- If their parents had downsized, they wouldn't have that opportunity. Stop painting them as evil for wanting to stay in their home. It's misguided at best. Their houses are just as much a security for them, as well as their descendants. That's what "generational wealth" is.
