Yes, it seems all that gets built these days are 5000 SQ ft detached homes with 2-3 levels and quartz/marble kitchen counters, glass shower doors, etc.

Why would a developer build a home they can sell for $100,000 profit when they can build a home they can sell for $300,000 profit?

There needs to be incentives for building cheaper houses, or disincentives for building expensive homes.
