I have Vietnamese in-laws. The family and extended relatives are essentially thought of as one large family unit. You do things for family because they're family. For example, my husband sends money to Vietnam for relatives that's he's never met, because that's what his family does (there's a bit of guilt over who got out a generation ago during the War and who didn't and therefore relatives still in Vietnam get a little help from relatives living abroad). If a relative calls us that they're coming to visit DC and needs a place to sleep for a couple of nights, my husband offers the basement bedroom. Our house is too small to accommodate longer stays, but other relatives have welcomed extended family for months at a time.

I am 100% against this monstrous addition. Anyone with any ethics and morals should have known that sometimes the law allows you something that common sense does not (and as it turns out, the setback calculation was off by 6 inches). These people are extremely disrespectful to their neighbors, and they should do not receive the variance allowing them to continue construction. I hope they will be forced to tear it down.

But I just wanted to explain the family culture of many people of Vietnamese extraction, who considers themselves the owner, the desire to live multigenerationally, etc.[/quote]
