The cost of owning a home has gone up, but so has the size of the average house, right?

Where I live that sort of problem - an ever increasing housing standard - is mostly brought by the house builders to increase profits, not necessarily by the average family's new found demands. Affordable housing in decent quality and like 80m2+ would never be unoccupied in a larger (western-)European city I reckon.

If you built smaller houses, people would buy them. Debt and Speculative ownership is are too cheap
