I agree with the underlying conclusion but there is one thing you said but did not properly reason about:

> On the other hand, van life and tiny houses are logistically prohibitive to having children.

This is just not true. Only here in the wealthy west people think they need a big house to have children. In the rest of the world you will see whole families living in one tiny room together.

Also there is a lot of valid reasons not to put children into this world without being part of some lifestyle romance.

In the rest of the world, you see whole families living in one room together because they are poor. Virtually no-one chooses to live like this. Case in point, as soon as such people get money, they upgrade to larger houses.
