Family with 5 kids in Hawaii, little or no choice, it's gonna cost them $400K or more for adequate housing. What to do? Move in the Aunties and Uncles and Cousins and spread the payments out over family. Enclose the garage for another 'family room with beds'. Put an extension on the back of the house for the newly married son/daughter. Park eight cars in front of the house, everyone works three jobs. NOT kidding! Thats a way of life here for many many folks.

Typical local joke:
My Father rejected me and kicked me out! How sad, when did that happen? When I turned 34...
