[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You buy a townhouse. The SFH was an artifice of the particulars of the 20th century.

SFHs in much of the US is reaching the end of its useful life. Will be very expensive to keep those homes in functioning order for the next 20-30 years.[/quote]

The end of useful life person is back. SFH are here to stay and most people want to live in one. [/quote]

Most of Gen Z will never own a SFH if they desire to live within 20 miles of a major American city. Their kids will be raised in multifamily housing. [/quote]

Many people will literally refuse to have children altogether if they cannot find a SFH to live in. More than 80% of homeowners live in SFHs. This is why birthrates are collapsing, SFHs are being replaced by apartments and THs due to greedy developers and overly permissive zoning laws [/quote]

LOL - I live in an all townhouse community in Loudoun and it's literally swarming with children.  We go to the park or pool almost every evening and meet up with toddler friends without ever having to arrange a playdate. IF the weather is halfway decent, someone will always be out and about to play with.  It's easy living here in TH world.[/quote]

You.  My sibling bought a townhouse in the 80s because that’s what they could afford.  Looked at SFHs in the 90s and everything in their school district was ridiculous and even with two good professional salaries could not really afford anything with the high interest rates etc.  so they raised their two kids in the TH and are still living there as retirees.  This is not really a new phenomenon. [/quote]
