And that growth is due to US cities all jumping on single family zoning as method of segregation, post civil rights. If the only thing you can do with a lot is build a single house, you make it as large as the market will support to maximize sale price. When only rich people can afford houses in a neighborhood, it becomes white only. Also known as gentrification.
