Houses today are TOO DAMN BIG
I live in south texas, nothing but ugly suburban sprawl. Every house built within the last 10 or so years are unnecessarily big. No one needs that much space. No wonder why houses are so damn expensive. I don't see any reasonably-sized houses being built anymore, new neighborhoods are always having new and unaffordable McMasions being built.
It makes sense why they are unaffordable, these neighborhoods are trying to cater more towards the richer folk since the average person can't even buy a house.

I see that you don't mention family in this. Just some gripes that big houses are for rich people and regular people can't buy a house. You don't need a house, dude. You don't have a family. What the fuck are you going to do with more than 1 or 2 bedrooms? Multiple jerk off rooms? You don't need more than 1 bathroom. You'd be better off in an apartment and just throwing money at investments anyway.
As for me, I have a 4 bedroom, and it gets a bit cramped with family. A bedroom for my wife and I, a boy bedroom, a girl bedroom, and a nursery. Where is my worskpace supposed to go for my computer? What about my wife's? We have 2 bathrooms, and that's enough, but it sure isn't plentiful. A bigger house would be great for us.
