Big-box houses could get even bigger, unfortunately.
The Dallas Morning News says more people are wanting even bigger houses, with three bathrooms and four bedrooms, despite the average Dallas-area household having 2.6 people. And the average home in America has already grown from 1,700 square feet to 2,300 in the past 30 years.
The trend for even bigger houses is unfortunate for two reasons: suburbs are using housing size as one of their few tools to restrict lower-income people moving in from Dallas, and unfortunate nationally due to its environmental waste.
