My country, often known for its pragmatic yet innovative ideas, offers the following middle ground.

If you are a first-time home buyer, you can get a $40,000 grant from the government, if you purchase a home within a 2-km radius of your parents' home and live in it for at least 5 years.

This allows couples to have their own home, and yet incentivises them to stay near their parents, enabling frequent visits.
