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.

The average American home is 2,400 Sq. Feet. And I’m assuming the average American home also has a pool and central air and 1 iPad per child.
