> Sorry, but this is just incorrect. Are you arguing with the reality? > There are plenty of people who are far from desperately poor, No, there aren't "plenty" of them _statistically_.

You can just check the Census age bracket data if you doubt me. > Sadly, the US has spent many decades making it hard to build family oriented (>=2 bedroom) housing in these areas No. The US made it possible to build dense housing that displaced family-oriented homes. And dense housing will ALWAYS be small. I live in Seattle, and there are no regulations that prohibit real estate developers from building 3-bedroom apartments. They don't do it because it's far more profitable to build three 1-bedroom studios instead.
