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.

@tomshillue I may not have said this to you exactly before, but what a very nice man you are, and how kind and appreciative you are to those of us who love you and your schtick with the politician impersonations, comedy, barbershop, coffee, dog walk videos, Gutfeld panel contributions, standup, live show contributions, breathing exercises, shared retreat videos, backstage videos ….did I miss anything going back to Red Eye??? I was just sitting and thinking that you told me to remind you when I’d be at the live show and make sure we meet up again. First I’m thinking lil ole fan me out here in fan world and he actually remembers who I am 😳 twice now—you will never know how much that means to me. So many fans only one you. Thank you Tom. Since Joe died in August it is an uphill walk for me to feel good and it’s easier day to day. But feeling special since then I can count those times on one hand. You just gave me one. 😘
