  • In this episode, Lawrence and Lovely discuss the fascinating shift gaining traction: the return to multi-generational living. With housing costs soaring and social dynamics shifting, more families are considering or returning to multi-generational households.

    Historically, multi-generational living and extended families often lived under one roof. Throughout the 19th century, most Americans lived in a multigenerational household, with most elderly Americans living with an adult child. Before modern housing, this arrangement was the norm, and economic changes influenced family structures. Many contemporary reasons drive this resurgence, from financial pressures and rising real estate prices to the need for increased caregiving support and a stronger sense of community.

    Multi-generational living is becoming a practical and appealing option for many. To quote a Pew Research Center study, "Living in a multigenerational household appears to confer a financial benefit by buffering residents against poverty, according to census data. Americans living in multigenerational households are less likely to be poor than those living in other households. This is especially true of some economically vulnerable groups, such as unemployed people."
