Eh, I don't know.

I was all on board with urban living, high and medium density housing, prior to COVID. The lockdowns didn't really change that, but the overall transition to more remote work did. I live and work in a major city and the downtown area, as many have been, was decimated by the remote work transition. There's been a lot of people fighting against that, but it seems like an inevitability.

The need for proximity, a primary driver for medium and high density housing, has taken a huge step backwards.

I really wish I had more time to study it, but I observe a few things: housing has gotten a lot more expensive in general and even with those increases existing homes on the market actually seem priced pretty competetivlely when you look at the cost to build.

We seem to be rapidly approaching a point where the only things which make any sense to build economically are high density apartment buildings and mansions. That mirrors what you see in third world bannan republics, and I think that should be disconcerting to us.

I don't know if we just don't make as much money as we should, or if building is just too expensive, or if there is simply so much demand for labor and materials due to some Malthusian overpopulation thing that we are forced to live different. Or maybe that's just three ways of staying the exact same problem? But I do think we need to find ways to make building cheaper, and I think we desperately need to figure out code and techniques to allow us to renovate existing structures because sprawl isn't sustainable but there are neighborhoods of homes in every city that are blighting and abandoned simply because it's not cost effective to fix them and that seems like a huge issue to me.

Or maybe having a home and the "American dream" was a uniquely boomer generation thing. A historical aberration that had us all picturing a life of some comfort and pride that was never going to come. Maybe it's always been the case that we are just cattle and peasants for the lords and ladies of the world and they simply accidentally allowed us to have a little back for a couple generations and now things are just returning to normal where your life and it's product is just wood for someone else's fire.
