There are tons and tons of houses like this out there. They're not new or nice, but they provide basic shelter. People lived in houses like this for decades. But it seems that many people would rather hold out for a 500k "starter" home that has all latest features rather than have a 1990s standard of living for cheap. Makes me doubt that there's truly a housing crisis.

Millennials also got it into their heads that living in flyover made them extremely irredeemably Losery, so coasts got more crowded than ever and Cleveland has thousands of Hectares of cheap housing, perhaps some of which with Linoleum flooring. And sure, No Jobs supposedly, but we have the republican caucus to blame for that.

the solution is to heavily disincentivize purchasing a home that isnt a primary residence.

Of course the houses are bigger, because people want to spend more time at home, having friends over, throwing birthday parties, chilling in a basement, and just enjoying their lives at home instead of having to go out and find some form of entertainment.

Housing is expensive because:

1. Decline of buildable lands close in. The age of mass subdivisions is over for many cities. There are exceptions like Texas and Florida, where they keep building new subdivisions after subdivisions (and are more prone to boom-bust cycles).

2. Population increases in all metro areas.

3. The economies of scale means it's more profitable for builders to squeeze bigger new houses on shrinking availability of land. Building starter homes makes no economic sense to the builders.

4. Demographic changes and social engineering like Move to Opportunity have seen many suburban school districts go from nicely decent to mediocre and people are chasing fewer and fewer good school districts, particularly close in.

Close in areas with hyperlocal good school districts are very expensive and shitshacks get multiple offers.

Blaming everything on inflated expectations for waterfall countertops and fake marble is a red herring.
