I mean my first house was a two bed, 1 bath 900sq ft cape code in a much cheaper market. I paid 100k for it in 2005.

Honestly that seems like a pretty good deal for a first home. If you can come up with 10% down you’ll be paying ~1500 a month. Refi when rates go down and you could be close to 1k/mo.

people will complain about being forced to live in pods and then willingly live in places like this

I love that Americans would still rather have crappy rectangles of lawn that they never use for anything than build up to the edge of the plot and have more rooms. Those plots are probably slightly bigger than that of my three bedroom terrace house.

Blame the zoning laws for that. They require minimum setbacks on each side and a maximum floor area to land area ratio.

That garage door is way to small and they forgot to build the appropriate house.

It just highlights how absurdly much space cars take up compared to people. Residents could have 25% more room to live if they didn't have to dedicate the space to car parking. (That parking is likely required by law as a minimum parking requirement in the zoning code, by the way, so it's entirely possible the person who ends up living there might not even actually want it.)

That's not terrible honestly. The price will vary widely depending on where it is. It seems like a good low maintenance place.

I'm begging developers to stop.

The problem isn't "not enough houses," the problem is rich fuck "investors" buying up all the empty houses to sit on them

We do legitimately need more housing. The population is always growing. The thing is we need sensible mid rise buildings with 1,000 sq ft 2 bedroom units. The hilarious thing is we could build them fast and cheap using modular techniques but the rent would still be horrendous because of the investors.

Pro: Can walk to Whataburger and Gold's Gym

Con: Literally directly underneath high voltage wires

Lennar is an insanely bad builder. They have no quality control. Whole neighborhoods with out of spec engineering and they rely on people being unable or unwilling to fight them.

They're so tiny. They'd might as well make an apartment complex or multi-family homes.

It's like a suburban tract home developer with a case of brain worms tried to build townhomes based solely on a verbal description he got from space alien visiting Brooklyn for the first time, relayed over a cell phone with one bar of reception.
