>Homes are much larger now than in 1955. Homes are not larger necessarily because of our "insane consumerist appetite."
They are larger because: 1. Housing is an investment vehicle
2. Housing valuations are primarily driven by SQFT/SQM (when you rule out location)
3. The baseline costs of building (permits, utility connections, etc) are not driven by size and make up a huge % of the cost to build.
4. Zoning laws prohibit smaller builds and multi-family in many areas. |
