It's been happening, gradually, for over a decade. Think about all the people just a little younger than us who went off to college, graduated into a crap jobs market, and moved back in with their parents to pay off student loans... sometimes with a spouse and/or kids in tow. I think it's had time to lose some of the associated stigma, and now you're seeing people do it much less out of financial desperation, and more from "we need to get out of the city and find something better for our kids". Obviously, not gonna work for everyone-- not everybody has a farm to go back to, or family they can live with-- but I think overall it's a good thing. I have benefitted hugely my whole life from being part of a large, close-knit kin network, that has allowed us to live considerably better than our income alone would have let us.
