+1 on moving out, and +1 on buying now. The fucktards are your parents problem. They should have kicked them out years ago (say at 18.) If they didn't want the responsibility of kicking them out of the nest then they either should have used a condom or be prepared to move them to CA.

Not your problem... unless they were disabled or mentally handicapped in some significant way.
