A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

@Kyler: That is true, Applejack is the only one of the Mane 6 who lives with her family. I'd also note that she and Rarity are the only ones who live in the same town/city they grew up in, too, since Twilight is from Canterlot, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash are probably from Cloudsdale and Pinkie is from wherever the rock farm is.
There really isn't much to go on to tell whether or not there is a stigma either way. We haven't seen any examples of ponies who live with their parents but wish they could move out, or parent ponies who wish their young adult offspring would go off and be more independent. I would guess that Rarity is one who moved out as soon as she could, going by her relationship with her parents in Sisterhooves Social, but while we do know that she's used to living alone at her shop in the current time period of the show, we don't know what it was like for her when she first started her boutique.
And now I'm picturing one of those fighting games where the characters tote multi-hit beam super attacks, but in this case, Shining is flinging dozens of totally charred baked bads at his opponent. >.>
FE: New Mystery Only Feet 7PM PT Sun, Mon, Fri; Umamusume Haru Arima 7PM PT Wed, Thurs: http://www.twitch.tv/kuroitsubasatenshiI'm pretty sure the show's been consistent about Sweetie Belle normally living elsewhere and only visiting Rarity. The beginning of "Sisterhooves Social" is pretty clear that Rarity isn't used to having Sweetie around all the time.

Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayI don't think Sweetie Belle has ever been shown living with Rarity. She just visits occasionally.
I'd have to rewatch For Whom The Sweetie Bell Toils to see if it's a guest bedroom or what.
I'd imagine it's a "Yay, sleepovers with big sis!" type dealie. I know I have a friend who goes out to stay over and hang out with his brother for a week or two every half-yearish or so, anyway.

Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayGiven how often Ponyville gets trashed, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that construction costs are a good deal cheaper than in real life.
Reaction Image RepositoryPonyville real estate is cheap because the Everfree is right next door, bringing the demand way down.

Now I want to see a fic of SA and Cadance adjusting to married life, where the main issue is that SA realizes that Cadance is too busy to make lunch for him and he has to cook for himself.
