Sadly the older homes in the city had only a single-car garage and I do woodworking. It does seem though like we're heading toward either trailer park or mansion. Seventy year ago they built real starter homes for newlyweds that did not yet have 2.4 kids. I'm not sure where those people go now. I have three daughters that are in their 20s now though so I guess I can watch and see.

It's not economical to build small houses; price them out sometime and the cost to "make it a 3 bedroom" is not much at all.

The closest I've seen is "modern manufactured" and you still have lot/utilities, and they still cost close to stickbuilt.
