Someone should find out the writer of this story and where they live. Then figure out a reason why they should not keep their current living arrangement and tell them about it. Make them feel guilty for their over indulgence. Are we supposed to be moved around like cattle as our life situation changes??? Folks, for many reasons live where they live...they like it, they don’t want to sell or move, they have a mortgage free home, they have family that comes to visit and want adequate space.
So yes, WHO DECIDES?? Hopefully the individual, not the writer of this story or some bureaucrat.

Well, uh, yes - that's the plan.
Governments in Europe are already discussing moving illegal immigrants into "extra" space in people's homes.
