    What if you were neighbors? My family has talked about how cool it would be if we had like a family cul-de-sac

      My mother in law lives next door and we love it because we don’t have to worry about her but still have some distance

        Yeah I wouldn’t mind that. My in-laws have a duplex but our aunt lives next door. If it wasn’t her, it would be us.

    • That can work for some people, not for me though. I want some distance.

      My parents live about a half hour away, and that’s a good distance: close enough that we can visit frequently, but far enough that we can claim we don’t have time. It works for us.

      I like the idea of doing a commune, preferably with better urban planning than a cul-de-sac
