[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The crisis is the *removal* of SFHs under 3000 Sq ft.  Soon, they will be erased from existence.  And either you can afford a McModern 4000+ Sq ft SFH, or resign oneself to life among the apartment or townhouse plebeian commoners.  [/quote]

THIS. I see this a lot where I grew up. It skews UMC but had plenty more middle class ranch homes (1500-1800 sq ft). Now they all immediately get knocked down for 4000+ sq ft modern monstrosities that fill up the lot and start at $1.5 million. The middle class just gets pushed further and further out or relegate themselves to the townhome crammed onto a small lot with a bunch of others. But I wonder at what point the market dries up for these massive homes? [/quote]

Townhouses being built are no longer small, entry level, or inexpensive either. There is a new townhouse development near me where the townhouses are 2800-3200 sq ft. This is larger than my older, SFH of 2500 sq ft (which I consider to be quite spacious) in which our family of 4 lives. The townhouses start in the upper 700s, which is not a price for a started home. It's also about what we paid for our older SFH, which I much prefer. The same development also has SFHs which are 3500-5000 sq ft.[/quote]
