When couples face multigenerational housing decisions due to affordability crisis

My partner and I disagree about whether to have his parents move in with us because they can't afford housing on their fixed income but I'm worried about what that would mean for our relationship and our own financial goals. Housing costs are crushing everyone in our family but we can't figure out how to help without sacrificing our own stability.
