No. Homes they are unaffordable are not expensive homes, they are expensive land. Building a mini house is a waste of effort and drives costs up, as it will need to be knocked down or mangled later to support expansion.
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoMini houses use less land. More likely, they are small apartments, though; single dwelling houses are not very practical where land is expensive, even if Americans tend to pretend so.

- Swizec 13y agoSo much this. I will never understand why somebody would want to own a one-family house if they aren't going to at least have a goat or something. Doesn't have to be a farm, but houses are for people who want to work the land at least in some capacity. Hell, at least have a solid garden!
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoYou can have a community garden in an apartment complex, or at least garden on your balcony.
- Swizec 13y agoYes you can. But it's stupid to have a whole house and not have any of that. I've so far lived 3 months in the Valley and those houses are ridiculous. Super big, with a yard that is huge, but useless for anything other than parking your bike, possibly having a few deck chairs, and keeping the front-lawn perfect for absolutely nobody.
