People came to the US from Europe because they were sick of dynastic wealth hoarding and all the issues this caused throughout society and economy.

The US now has perpetual trusts, so the same malaise that affects Europe is settling into the United States as we become a "mature" country with a landed aristocracy (and their short-term rental empires).  [/quote]

Chevy Chasers are a far cry from being aristocrats, but the comparison is valid. It's funny that people like OP are "shocked" that wealthy people share their houses with their families, because this his how wealthy people have lived for thousands of years. This is why "house" has the same meaning as "clan". The wealth clans hold houses, often large enough to house dozens of people, through the ages for the purpose of housing their, you guessed it, family. [/quote]
