Honestly yeah. I think a lot of these articles assume the "Move out on their 18th birthday" mentality, but I see extended family situations increasing because livability sure isn't.

If we raised our families in this cooperative fashion, even when the kids are adults, I feel like we'd be much closer to the stable "nuclear family" model than previous generations ever were, relying on a single generation's "breadwinner" and everyone else just being immediate dependents.

Instead of "paying rent", everyone contributes to the household's common good by covering portions of utilities and such.

I dunno maybe this just works for us because nobody in the house is "Boomer with a firm handshake" rich. But it works lol.
