A Growing Problem in Real Estate: Too Many Too Big Houses

For a family, 60 days to pack everythig you own, and move, while supporting everyone is not easy at best, and untenable at worst. When I was single this was not the case.

This doesn't pass the BS test, especially if you are local. I have moved across town; with a family and a day job, in around 15 days, with most of the move taking place the first 7. Out of town, I can see 30 - 45. It would require planning and a UHaul (if within 250 miles) and a semi-truck moving company if further out than that. It literally just takes a bit of planning and follow through.

There are a lot more hoarders in this country than anybody will admit.

Some people will never move at all because the thought of having to "go through all our stuff and pack it all" is too daunting.

I do not see how this possibly applies to renters though.
