I’m just not sure about this article. To me, it seems like these large homebuilders can only efficiently operate in tract housing so if you want to live in the middle of nowhere and have total uncertainty regarding the quality of the neighborhood that you live in and quality of the schools, etc because they just built it and pay through the nose for a brand new home, you can buy into tract housing, but I think many people want to live in established neighborhoods, where newly built homes are custom built and they mostly aren’t built by these new companies or they have to build large condos or apartments, because that’s the only way to efficiently add large numbers of units. High housing prices are the result of the fact that most people purchase used homes, because the risk of purchasing a used home in an established neighborhood is simply lower and there just aren’t that many used homes, because people want to live in established neighborhoods.
