And if you make housing more affordable, household size will drop further, as fewer people choose to live together purely for economic reasons. For example, housing is pretty affordable in Finland, and the average household size was 1.93 in 2022.

Yes, a lot of people with roommates or stuck with family would move out if it were not for the high cost of housing

Yea, though in a good way. Not needing roommates is what happens when a housing shortage goes away.
