This argument is stupid too. "Who am I supposed to 'go half on a place with'?".
She's not the only one who doesn't have the luxury of having a friend as their roommate. There are ways to get in contact with other people who are in the same situation as you - looking for someone to split the cost of rent with, but without an available friend/family member to fill the role.
It's not hard to sign up for some website dedicated to things like this, make an agreement with someone that you'll rent a place together, (it could even be more than one person if she's worried that $400 wouldn't be enough for half, or if she's worried about living alone with someone she doesn't know) and proceed with the move. Who knows, maybe she could even make a friend out of it!
But she won't. She'd rather leech off of her poor parents who want to enjoy their retirement, yet they're expected to continue to treat her as if she's their teenage daughter.
