  • This dovetails with my long-time prediction, that one day TPTB will force homeowners to accept people who would otherwise be homeless or who live in substandard or inadequate housing of their own.

    And you will not be able to choose who comes to live with you, moreover, "diversity" will be a determining factor.

    Shades of Soviet-era shared apartments where every family gets their own room (maybe) and they share communal areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and living rooms.

    When the communists built the housing project in Poland where my wife grew up, the original plan was to build the apartments without kitchens, and for the good socialist worker comrades to take their meals in a common cafeteria.  When the prospective residents called BS on this, they said "okay, fine, we'll just take one of those bedrooms we were going to let you have, and make that a kitchen instead".  So everyone got one less room to live in.  I can attest from personal experience, things were a bit cramped.

  • Reading over the actual website (happipad.org), on the face of it, it looks like something voluntary.  If it's nothing more than connecting homeowners with lodging-seekers, whether through some sort of rental arrangement, a trade of housing for assistance with one's needs (e.g., an elderly person who needs assistance with some non-medical tasks), or a hybrid of both, it's hard to find fault with it --- as long as the homeowner (and, conceivably, the home-seeker) has veto power over whether they accept the other party or not.  "Taking in boarders" has always been a "thing", as has unrelated people joining their efforts as roommates --- in the DC area it's practically a way of life.  Very often, in the DC "roommate culture", you will have successions of renters, Adam and Barney get an apartment together (and, no, they're not necessarily ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs), Adam moves out, Barney has Cecil to move in, Cecil moves out, Dan moves in, Barney moves out... you get the idea.  As long as the landlord can keep the apartment rented, and the roommates pay their rent on time, the landlord shouldn't care.

    Again, as long as it's voluntary, and nobody is forced to accept anyone as a roommate, no problem.  But if you start having "diversity" forced upon you, or are even forced to take in someone you don't want to take in, then that is a problem.

    The enemy is a master of deception and incrementalism. It always starts out voluntarily. Remember covid?
    Remember seatbelts?
    Remember smoking areas in restaurants, and then Zip > no smoking at all in restaurants.

    That's the carrot.

    Some people like anti 2nd Amendment rules so much that they force it onto others.

  • Canada already tried forcing people to take in boarders in "45 when the soldiers came home.
    It was awful, but didn't last long.  My Dad kept throwing them out for stealing.

  • If it weren't for the fact that I have extended family here in the US, including a parent who needs extra care in her old age, I'd be seriously considering moving to Hungary right about now.  At least they're keeping the "migrants" out.  Even though I was born in the US, I'm actually also a Hungarian citizen, since citizenship in Hungary is by blood.  So are my kids.  My wife isn't, but she'd get quickly naturalized, being married to a Hungarian citizen.  It would be a culture/language shock for the kids though.  But they're clearly on the verge of collapsing the US.
