The Japanese dude from Softbank is adorable...giggled when Trump said 200B instead of 100B. Dude is now putting in 500B. Do I agree with AI? Check back in with me in 2 yrs, however little man is still adorable!!! 🥰

A comment on housing affordability.
My first home was 1300 sq feet...which at the time seemed like plenty of space for my wife and I, and 3 dogs. It got me thinking.
Some facts and trends on housing
The average size of new houses has dramatically increased over the past 75 years, from around 909 square feet in 1949 to about 2,430 square feet in 2023.
According to a 2024 study by the National Association of Home Builders, only 8% of new single-family homes built were smaller than 1,200 square feet.
An additional 18% were between 1,200 and 1,599 square feet.
While I lament for today's generation, they need to understand they may not be able to have a 2400 sq foot starter home. The problem is we don't have an "Levittowns" being built anymore. We need to get the amount of housing up, and at this point, smaller is better. And youngsters...buy small and work your way up.
