I don't know anyone starting a family happy with the situation. Most people I know are moving to suburbs only because they can't get 3 bedroom apartments in cities. If MFH's became broadly available I think many new families would flock there.

Everyone I spoke to who has lived with kids in both flats and houses on 600sqm blocks prefers the latter, commute (which commute?) be damned.

Not much use wanting to have a stand-alone place if you can't afford it.

Rural homes are dirt cheap almost everywhere. Yes, choices are made.
