Oh boy, here we go.

My elderly parents live in a 5 bedroom split level single family home. They raised 5 kids there. They’d put it up for sale but it needs at least $100,000 in work which they don’t have just laying around.

Then there’s the issue of almost no one having that many kids these days, everyone wants smaller homes as “starters”. 2 identical models went on the market about a year ago and they haven’t sold.

Add to that the fact that they’re in Illinois which has lost population so there just aren’t any buyers.

So I’m sure the next step will be for these idiot “experts” to demand a government program to “help” which will, of course, only make things worse.

“Add to that the fact that they’re in Illinois”

The second highest tax rate in the United States!

“Add to that the fact that they’re in Illinois which has lost population so there just aren’t any buyers.”

No wonder...

We are still rebuilding out Victorian era money pit.

Few of the younger folks would be willing or able to do what we are doing.
