Do you think it's a good idea to normalize moving out at age 18? (as is common in the US at least)

No, better to give people a break and let them hang out a while before having to get a job and everything. Working is just a necessary(?) evil, not a virtue. In Spain things are much more relaxed in general, and people tend to stay with their parents and be jobless well into their 30's. I think Spain sounds like a much better place to live. I also like the idea of many generations living in one home, it's more efficient, there's more company and support, and there's less work involved than for everyone to have their own homes and cars. And forcing people to move out the minute they turn legally adult is the opposite of that.
