I have always thought that our society should be more cooperative and less individualistic. Larger groups living together, to me, removes a lot of redundancy. For one thing, it removes the redundancy of multiple residences. Why would you want to pay $600 a month rent to some landlord when you can pay $300 a month to your parents? Or your kids? Or your sibling?
Of course, as siblings we now get along great because we don't live together. Although many of us have lived with our little sister (well she's my little sister, she'd be my brother's older sister, and she's housed for various periods - me, my brother, and my niece, maybe baby sister too, I am not sure.).
