This tells me that the odds are the parents were well educated and/or hard workers who most likely wanted the most for their kids. Why would they not push all of you kids out and tell you to go to school?
All 4 of us went to school outside our hometown.

I never said my neighborhood. Just people I grew up with. Two doors down from my house was the same situation as ours. Considering these families are still some of my closest friends, yes its average to me.

Why do you think pushing kids out on their own just because they turned 18 is the best thing for them?

Only works if they get yellow paint and stripe the driveway.

Oh I can see them still playing bumper cars with this arrangement. I mean look at who we are dealing with here

Oh, it will definitely still be a cluster. But the trashiness of the paint will add to the effect they must be going for.

I'm not saying it is. I am simply playing the averages. I would say MORE parents...who were upper middle class...would want their kids to branch out and explore all of their options. What Golfer is saying is just the opposite. He knows more people who live at home than who moved out. I found that somewhat odd considering the lifestyle he grew up in.
I am not saying that it is right or wrong to have your 18, 20, and 22 year olds living with their parents. I realize that every situation is different. It just doesn't seem to be the "average" living arrangement in that economic group.

I didn't. But of course that doesn't fit your narrative.

So a family with 4 kids in a 5-6 BR house with the kids between 23 and 16 means you can't have 6 cars?

Not sure where I am confused?

If I go to a neighborhood on a Saturday and see no cars parked on the street I automatically know it is the kind of front garage no space neighborhood where no one knows each other and no one wants to come visit.

That is one extreme.
The complete opposite extreme is the neighborhood where the roads, driveways and yards are full of cars with all sorts of people hanging out having a good time eating/drinking and being very social...at 2:00 on a Tuesday afternoon.
Again, there are exceptions to every rule but if I turn down a street I have never been on before and it is loaded with cars...my assumptions are different than if the street was "clean" looking.
Question...why do a large number of the nicer neighborhoods have HOA restrictions that prohibit parking in the street? What is the reasoning behind that?

People park on the street in my neighborhood all the time. As long as your car is facing the right way no one cares.
I don't see why this makes such a difference. The car is the same size no matter which direction it is pointed. It's a neighborhood, not a major thoroughfare...traffic should not be the problem.

For our community our streets are privately owned and narrower than typical public streets, done purposefully since street parking overnight is prohibited. If someone is having a get together we have a neighborhood coordinator who sends out eblast and texts to remind residents of the event.

So you think the folks shopping in da hood are gonna also be interested in the upper middle class burbs that feel the need to be dictated to by a HOA?

They are obstacles. They are easy targets for dindus. It looks trashy.

You are supposed to park in the right direction because some streets are wider than others and if you're parked the wrong way you have cross over what would be oncoming traffic on an undivided street.

How taboo is parking on the street when no one else in the neighborhood does it?
There is not one single neighbor that parks in the street, except for the jerk next door who leaves his truck directly behind my driveway every single day.
And they only have 3 cars. So, instead of parking behind one of his cars every day, he parks behind mine.

In Scottsdale you can park your car on the street in most neighborhoods, but if it is parked in the wrong direction it can (and will) be ticketed.
