“A lot of that sentiment goes out the window when you live in an urban center where “home and hearth” are a multi-story tenement, you have no connection with transient neighbors, and “family” is a group of highly dysfunctional wards of the state.”
Hearth and home is YOUR hearth and home, not those of some drug-addled neighbor. And YOU get to determine who is family. There is family, and then there is FAMILY. Just sharing some identifying DNA does not by itself meet the criteria.
