Affordability is one of the biggest challenges in today’s housing market.I believe smaller, more dense units are part of the solution:1) Buyers can only afford smaller homes in today’s economy.2) Denser units maximize the land available, increasing housing supply to help offset demand and ultimately bring costs down overall.It’s not just about building more, it’s also about building smarter.What are your thoughts?
