In many cases, the failure to downsize is caused by the lack of affordable smaller housing. If a smaller flat is more expensive - if at all available - why should or could they downsize?
And with the rate that the market has increased, of course smaller is more expensive than staying for a majority.
OP thinks that it's reasonable to kick retired septuagenarians out of their homes because they have a couple spare rooms they don't use much anymore and force them to deal with the current real estate market
OP said nothing of the sort. What?
