Fedup
Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
We don't have a HOA but the current housing prices in California combined with Prop 13 make for some eclectic neighbor mixes. We have elderly residents in our neighborhood in homes with peeling paint, falling down fences and dead lawns next to yuppie families with remodeled houses, manicured lawns and a Tesla and BMW in the driveway.
Somebody started a neighborhood group asking for volunteers to clean houses and do errands for the low income, elderly homeowners, which seemed a bit odd to me since these people are sitting on expensive real estate, while there are so many homeless in the area that literally don't have roofs over their heads and need help much more. The cash poor elderly in the expensive homes can either move or get a reverse mortgage and pay for all the help they need.
Why is it a problem helping seniors. Why comparing them to homeless people. I’ve already helped my neighbors regardless of whether they are rich or poor. But I think seniors even deserving more help regardless of their equity.
