See the tax break Healy is suggesting for said seniors. Will only make the housing market worse.

Yeah, I don't get giving seniors a break on property taxes. Old people own all the damn property. Give young people who own nothing a break. If an old person is struggling to pay property taxes then they bought something they couldn't afford. They can get a roommate to help pay expenses. That is what they tell young people to do.

It's because your local city councilors and state representatives get 74 calls per week from retired senior citizens and 6 calls per week from young people trying to start a family.

Or have their adult kids move in with them to help pay bills.

Many seniors do live with family or with roommates in a "retirement home." Those are things that already happen.
