[QUOTE="mr ed, post: 3166978, member: 6777"] In most countries its that way. Land is limited and the same property will stay in the family for hundreds of years. England is a good example. In my wife's home in the Philippines the house was added onto as the family grew and got older. When we got married, my wife and her sister shared a room upstairs, the rest of the upstairs was her brother ,his wife and 2 kids. Down stairs was her parents in one part, another brother and family in another part and a single brother had a room down there. In the back yard her oldest sister and her family built a house. for a total of 17 people. Here in the US its quite common for the Hispanics to move in to the cheapest place they can find. 4 or 5 brothers, cousins etc and some wives and kids. total 15-20 They work shift work so the place is not overcrowded except Sundays when the whole crowds there and its party time. It really takes a toll on the house. 15-20 in a place designed for 3-4. That's why they get robbed a lot. all of them working, no bank account, saving so they can all buy a cheap house for an investment anchor. [/QUOTE]
