      I think the space you’re referring to is a big point. We don’t build generational family homes. We build single family homes.

      As with so many things, we can’t have nice things not because “people are doing it wrong”, but because we don’t have the infrastructure for it. -walkable cities -public spaces

      • reliable public transportation
      • climate change

      Communal family living was a thing in the past because modesty, temperance, and christian values were expected norms.

      Most of human existence have communal family living… it wasnt until the last century were it became common place to leave the family because we no longer live in an agrarian society and work can easily be found away from your family home.
