The US has built its physical infrastructure to make familial interdependence extremely difficult and often impossible.
Too monotonous housing mixes over too large of areas.
- dotancohen 11mo agoLarge houses make familial interdependence extremely difficult? That doesn't make sense. Or did I misunderstood? I don't live in the US.
- estearum 11mo agoMost people don't have houses large enough to house multiple generations inside the house. Houses are sized for parents + kids. And those are the only dwelling units available or legally allowed for vast distances in any direction.
- dotancohen 11mo agoFrom what I've seen American bedrooms are far larger that the 12 square meter bedrooms that are normal for two or three children to share in my country. Grandparents don't need a separate wing, they need a room.
