Great idea, Grandma Jettie had an exchange student, love her!

In France, a popular intergenerational housing movement is tackling two problems at once: loneliness among seniors and high rent for students.

Elderly hosts open their spare rooms to students and other young people, who live rent-free or at very low cost in exchange for companionship and small help, like regular presence and agreed-upon small services. The seniors get safety, company, and a human connection. The students get affordable housing and a room in a real home.

No charity. No handouts—just an exchange. Just a simple idea that benefits both generations.

For context, the line comes from a letter George Washington wrote to the Dutch minister Francis Adrian Van der Kemp. In it, Washington expresses strong sympathy for Dutch patriots, praising their public spirit and steadfastness. He highlights that America’s political and religious freedoms allow industrious, virtuous settlers to enjoy comfort, liberty, and prosperity, suggesting that Van der Kemp’s presence could inspire others to emigrate. The letter portrays Washington’s vision of the United States as a refuge for those escaping oppression, where moral integrity and civic virtue are highly valued.

However, just ten years later, the 1798 Alien and Sedition Acts sharply curtailed the rights of foreigners, made naturalization more difficult, and criminalized speech critical of the government.
