Multigeneration households are great if they actually plan for it. Starting a family in a house thats already servicing a full family can be difficult and many of them probably can’t afford to upsize to a more reasonably sized household if needed. Multigeneration living alone still wouldn’t fix the housing crisis but it could relieve some pressure and could be a more affordable option for those able to do it.
That’s why I said it “can be really beneficial”, because you’re right, it takes intentionality and open communication to really work well.
I know that my fellow millennials have already started feeling the pinch between taking care of our kids and having to take care of our aging parents by this point. It’s only going to get worse and more expensive.
