The earlier comment is right about this being more common in New York, where the cost of living high, and day-to-day life makes it more understandable and accepted. I know friends of mine elsewhere in the country that own their own homes, whose mortgages are smaller than my rent. FTW?! I am interested in finding the places mentioned that's selling for "$130,00". Is that $13k or $130k?

I love hipsters who were actually raised here. They've got the street cred on lock.

Don't live in the northeast and then you don't have to live with your parents.

we definitely need the draft. More hipsters dying = more affordable housing.

It's a sad state of affairs when a young couple can't even afford a starter home. These boomers need to sell their real estate to their kids and rent from them. That's the only way real estate is ever going to be transferred to young people these days.

Y'know, there was a time when this was normal behavior. Is it really such a bad thing? If my parents lived in the city I sure as hell would move back in with them to save money.

This is true. My neighbor's daughter is 28 and still living at home. She recently got married and her husband moved in. I guess I'm one of the few who finds this odd.

I can't stand that horrible cottonelle ad campaign that's everywhere now - are they suggesting someone would want to wipe their ass with a puppy? and the puppy bus is horrifying.
