ParticipantI think the article has a great global housing overview but it doesn’t address the family budget relation to the ratios…
As Cooprider stated – families tend to live together, smaller houses, more taxes, less debt.
USA/we couldn’t afford anything over these numbers due to the amount of debt for our lifestyle. (mandatory car/family member, schools that are extremly expensive, health care ….etc).

ParticipantInteresting data, but the analysis is pretty weak. The adage “correlation does not equal causation” comes to mind.

Participant[quote=cooprider]I think a lot of it is cultural.
In most other countries multiple generations of families live in the same house. Some cultures just add on to the house, others just stay in it.
We Americans need our own personal space for all of our stuff.[/quote]
cooprider, you need to get out some more! Modern Australian households and UK households and Irish households don’t have large masses of teeming humanity packed into small pockets of space.
In these countries, the bubbles were even more inflated, that’s all.
