The reality is that, according to these statistics we have 2.38 people per housing unit. These may be flawed in undercounting illegal immigrants, etc. But these are the numbers. Assuming that they should revert to what they were before consumption spiked may be flawed.
Assuming that the “proper” number should be 2.96 is equivalent to relocating about 20% of the population. So, what you are telling us is that 60 million people living in this country are going to move in with other people.
As usual your analysis is solid. I just don’t buy the premise in this case.
