We had my mom's parents in our basement for nearly a decade. It caused my dad some consternation, but he put up with it because that's just the way it goes. Now that my grandmother is widowed, she's back with my parents and likely will be there until its her time to go.
Multi generational house holds were pretty common in East Van and parts of the west side that were home to the Chinese, like Marpole.
