The issue is not if some people stay home with their parents. The issue is when it becomes wide spread over the population. What we’re seeing with the housing market and more people with the financial necessity to live with their parents is a form of generational control. Conservatives want younger generations more dependent on their parents for housing so their parents have a say over those younger generations longer.
If a person’s parents control whether or not that person has a roof over their head, then that person is less likely to engage in political behaviors, life style choices, or life saving medical treatments like HRT, that could upset their parents. This could depend on the politics of a person’s parents, but the the trend is for younger generations to be more progressive than older generations.
the West is also the cultural space where being housed by your parent is a form of unhealthy dependence
I think it was common for previous generations to believe that, but I do not believe that is the case for millennials and gen z. The issue is that our society has systems of oppression that remove a person’s choice about where they get to live. It’s not an accident that the housing market is this way.

lol the problem isn’t that everybody should move out, it’s that hardly anyone can afford their own apartment (let alone single family home)
