People in their 20's and 30's eventually reach their mid to late 30's and realize living as a couple with a child or two running around in an apartment, taking elevators to walk the dog or have the kids play in a park (a park probably with homeless people laying on benches if it's the parks I'm thinking of), and folding a stroller to walk down the subway is -- a giant pain in the butt.

And eventually those people visit friends or see pictures on social media of people similar to them with large back yards, land and big kitchens - and say, shit, maybe we should look into this.

As it happens, just possibly a black swan pandemic event keeps those folks indoors with their kids and dogs, with their nonplussed neighbors, children running around behind Zoom conference calls, and pictures on social media of people with houses and backyards causing massive envy...

And welcome to today.

That's the housing situation in the suburbs and exoburbs. This is BEFORE even even talk about the insanely low interest rates on offer during this time.
