retirement homes are fucking cruel. don't want to be a good little Inheritance Boy in the comments but old people spend hundreds of thousands buying a unit then when they die their children cant reclaim any of that equity. its owned by the retirement home. they just sell the unit again for another couple hundred grand. it's privatised estate tax
