No matter where you choose to live, you will always get a few people causing a problem regardless of age.
For the few comments here saying how the adult loser children come back to mommy and daddy, that is the cruelest thing to say. You don't know their situation. Those adult children might be there to help a sick parent, or perhaps lost their job. Etc. To call anyone a loser without knowing the details doesn't make you sound anymore intelligent. I have a grown professional adult child who works very hard, and if one day he needed my assistance, or I needed his, it's no ones business who lives with who. With some of the comments here, I personally wouldn't want you for my neighbor.
All said and done, TV is a beautiful place to retire, just mind your own business, and keep your business to yourself or it will come back to bite you!
Thoughtfully written, and I might add that there are some societies that encourage many generations living together in a large home; marrieds and older people and children, with all looking after each other. I am quite sure there are clashes and tensions, but also the result is often greater knowledge of life and better ways to successfully deal with common problems. We had neighbors who moved from India. He came to work for Proctor and Gamble in Cincinnati as an engineer and she was an OB Gyn who immediately began the process to become accredited in the States. It was our pleasure to meet several visiting members of her large family and to enjoy all of them. They joked a lot about arranged marriages working better than randomly dating. We so enjoyed their views and their humor, their acceptance of our ways. and interest in learning all about living in the U.S. and their kindness and genuine affection.
