OPINION: "A nursing home admission often begins not with a medical crisis, but with a housing problem." wbur.fm/4xw4Bg2
'Homesharing' could help solve two problems at once
"Homesharing is not elder care, and a spare bedroom is not an affordable housing strategy," writes James Lomastro. Still, Massachusetts has good reason to test the homesharing model that has worked well elsewhere.

"Mehrere Male wurde nachjustiert, die Maschen des Gesetzes wurden verengt.." – wie bitte? eingehendere recherche hätte mehrfache lockerung und erleichterung dieses geschäftsmodells ergeben – die gesetzesnovelle 2018 wurde bekanntlich nicht zuletzt von airbnb als "homesharing-gesetz" sehr gelobt..

I was involved in an organization with a very successful homesharing program in the early 2000s. It was really great for everyone involved.

Thanks to @bostonglobe.com for publishing this letter from the CEOs of JFS of Metrowest and @jalsaboston.bsky.social on a fast & cost-effective strategy for helping to address Massachusetts' ongoing #housing crisis.

We should all be homesharing

We should all be homesharing - The Boston Globe
While home sharing alone will not solve the crisis, it is one of the fastest, most cost-effective, and immediately scalable strategies because it makes better use of existing housing.

Fun to see the 500k expenditure next to all the cuts to services. Who is the staff position and who's the "community based organization"?

Fun fact. Homer Williams and HomeShare Online (Silvernest) CEO Wendi Burkhardt teamed up in 2019 to pass SB 1045 giving a property tax break on $300k accessed value for homesharing property owners. Seriously.
Fuck all these people.

The report itself shows the bigger picture: Coastal towns (and inner city Dublin) are more-or-less being overrun with Airbnbs. My local town (Westport) is namechecked as having around 25% of available properties in Airbnb versus long-term rental.

MassLandlords filed testimony against the homesharing bills as drafted. Might be a good idea to develop but these bills delete the right for a renter to go to court, among other issues. https://loom.ly/Jl-r6YU #mapoli
Testimony opposed to Homesharing as drafted. 194 S.992 H.1473 An Act to expand housing opportunities through homesharing. - MassLandlords.net
The homesharing bills as drafted would allow 3-day evictions, would not require going to court, and would open the door to economic subservience and other social ills.

I don’t think it’s as widespread as people might think here. People are living with roommates well into their 30’s but that’s probably true of most HCOL urban areas. I wish people were doing more homesharing into their 40’s and beyond, I think there’s a lot of advantages.

Not sure about the homesharing aspect but keen on many of the other recommendations. I am a convert to @dmk1793.bsky.social thought on compulsory voting

I wasn't at the meeting, just catching up from Avalos thread.

Guessing it's along these lines. This concept has been kicking around since before the pandemic, maybe it's finally getting traction? homeshareoregon.org

We know the problems. The system is problematic but it's not at all clear where the urgency is in fixing the problems.

I think homesharing needs to be talked about more.
