I agree in principle. The problem is it's not happening because USians value family more than they did before, but because people can't afford as much to go out on their own. That's not to say nobody values family, but I'm pretty sure valuing of family is overall worse in the US than in most countries. Those of us in the US are very individualized in thinking and culture, and that induces more tension from being pressed (by economic conditions) into staying at home for longer.

As Maria touched on, it's different if it's a choice vs. if the conditions all but force you into it.
