staying at your parents' house after your 20 years is ridiculed in american culture.
the bad stereotype of living at your mom's basement is not present in other cultures that I know of.
what are the reasons behind it? improving territorial and people mobility in such a vast country?
Independence and Individuality are valued traits in US culture. Young 18-year-old kids are encouraged to "leave the nest" and live life. But as I mentioned, that has changed very much in a short time. Now economical needs are disallowing this (independence & individuality) for many.

If the US economy continues to stagnate/slump then class mobility is going to freeze. Loans are going to become restricted. Inflation/Deflation are both potential threats to the dollar-value, etc.
