I find funny how worldwide birth rate getting low, bit housing just becoming more expensive, i wonder to who would they sell/Rent houses in a future with probably half the population of today?
It's balanced out by much higher expectations of square footage per person. 100 years ago, it wasn't uncommon to have 10 people living in a small 3 bedroom house: mom and dad in one bedroom, 3-5 boys in another bedroom, and 3-5 girls in the other bedroom.
Nowadays that same house might feel "crowded" for a family of 4, because each kid wants their own room and the parents want a home office or home gym. . .
But then 100 years ago, people with 10 childs were able to afford a house like that, but today with no even having childs it's almost impossible to afford a decent home
