Won't there be a bunch of empty houses in 2 or 3 generations anyway due to the fertility rates crashing down globally below fertility replacement levels?

- lotsofpulp 2y agoThere’s already a bunch of empty houses. But not in places where people want to live. People don’t want to be in an empty house in a cheap place, it’s cheap for a reason.
- consteval 2y agoThe promise of WFH could have reduced this factor for many (most?) office workers. Unfortunately, we're dialing back hugely on that. So we're right back to people clustering in extremely HCOL areas while they're surrounded by ample space and housing. Nobody wants to commute 3 hours to work. And nobody wants to build an office in the middle of nowhere. The end result is obvious. Also, Americans as a whole are allergic to affordable housing. A commie block or two could solve this, but we're still making "luxury" two story apartments out of glorified popsicle sticks and vinyl.

- vasco 2y agoFertility rates crashing down globally is my quote - globally means I didn't forget anyone. Also fertility rates of immigrants are the same as their hosts after 1 generation.
