Faced with high mortgage rates, cost-constrained Americans ( read for free) are letting loft spaces and dining rooms go the way of coal chutes and milk boxes so they can afford new homes. Since 2018, the average unit size for new housing starts has decreased 10% nationally to 2,420 square feet, according to listing platform Livabl by Zonda. Most builders and architects are now into more efficient living spaces, increasing the size of multiuse areas like kitchens and great rooms and promoting shared spaces such as jack-and-jill bathrooms.

Having lived in a 216 square foot house I can definitely say American houses are not designed for people, they are designed for things. Average size is part of why houses are unaffordable. We need lots of small houses.
