The problem is more that the cheaper, smaller homes are rarely on the market, or are pulled down and replaced by McMansions.

Even worse is when the smaller homes are closer to the center of the ever-growing urban sprawl, so the land value is through the roof due to location, and only the wealthy can live in them.

There are no starter homes left at starter home prices. You either get a mcmansion that could hold a family of 8 comfortably, or you're stuck in an apartment. There are no modest new homes being built for a family of 3 or 4.

Yeah, you have to go out to the stix, to find them. Or live someplace like Montana.

Out here, there are some, but they don't meet the energy guidelines, they get bulldozed and replaced by a bigger building.

You'd have to go to one of the tiny house settlements, to buy one.

The tiny houses are too tiny, though.

For a family, sure, but someone could downsize into one, and free up a larger house.
