I'm skeptical of your claim. From what I read in social networks, newer generations of Americans don't even believe they will ever afford an apartment, let alone a detached house. I seriously doubt that there's a generation of choosing beggars who only accept living in a type of home they can't possibly even dream of affording.
- tempsy 3y agoI don’t know what you mean by this at all. I don’t think there’s any connection between what someone wants and what someone can afford. And the point is a 4 bedroom condo or apartment in an expensive urban city is going to be significantly more expensive than a house in some cheaper suburb. Lots of people do choose to move out of cities into suburbs for this reason. That isn’t a new thing.

You're making hypothetical claims comparing "expensive urban city" with "cheaper suburbs". Your hypothetical scenario would only be valid if there are no affordable urban areas and there is no tradeoff in living in the boonies, and the only way that people could conceivably live is in >3bedroom mansions. The whole world does not live like this, including the US. It sounds like the real estate version of "let them eat cake".
