    For centuries before, living in a single house with children of all ages and grandparents was a norm. American boomers is an outlier, not a norm.

    Apartments don’t have to be small. It’s more efficient to stack apartments vertically if you want to build a city. And in the recent years people want to move to the cities cause of socio-economic changes.

    Want to live in the house? Move to the village. Want a house in the city? Pay a premium.

      That’s fair: we used to live in smaller dwellings. I kind of like that we have more space now.

      Apartments don’t have to be smaller than homes, but that’s exactly what happens everywhere that becomes more dense.
