American homes are getting smaller and smaller.
The rise in housing prices and increasing rents has been one of the most important aspects of Americans’ economic hardships in recent years.
This trend is not exclusive to America, and many countries have witnessed an increase in housing prices.
Among industrialized countries, this situation has seriously exacerbated conditions for citizens in Canada and Britain, and a significant portion of the inflation increase is due to this issue. The shrinking size of homes under construction in America may seem natural in these circumstances, but the expansion of the phenomenon of tiny homes to suburban areas is not something Americans are accustomed to. Homes under 100 square meters, while maintaining maximum desired amenities for citizens, such as including one or even two bedrooms, a kitchen, an extra bathroom, and a very small workspace in a very limited space, is an impossible mission.
The average housing price in America is now around $430,000. This upward trend, coupled with the tightening of mortgage interest rates, has turned homeownership into a dream for many.
Various narratives about the challenges of buying and renting in America have been a significant part of media narratives about American living standards, and the solutions found to have a high roof overhead tell the story of the strange American lifestyle.
With these prices, divorce and separation of couples have made their job of buying or renting a separate house difficult, and many cases of being forced to live in an apartment or house despite separation have been narrated.
Group renting a house, which was a phenomenon of youth and early career days, is now something ordinary for middle-aged people. Smaller houses can be a solution to problems in this area.
But not only does the American spirit and lifestyle not adapt to this tightness, but some examples of constructed life actually tie life in knots.
A journalist’s narrative of a seventy-square-meter house with two bedrooms and two full bathrooms that the audience did not believe, and she had to prove that such a newly built house is real. A living room and a hall for gatherings will be a dream, and Harris’ promises to improve the housing market and help Americans become homeowners are actually an answer to this key concern of American life.
