How do you know that? Have you looked at statistics for housing stock in the US in general? You can find it here: https://www.nmhc.org/research-insight/quick-facts-figures/qu...

And if you're curious about new construction, you can find it here https://www.census.gov/construction/chars/highlights.html

You'll find that in 2022 over half of new apartment units had 1 bedroom or less. I guess you live in a very different state that is not reflective of overall trends across the US.

Because I've researched it.

> Have you looked at statistics for housing stock in the US in general?

I wasn't talking about the US in general, I was talking specifically about my state. Housing situations vary wildly across the nation, though, so I shouldn't have been surprised that things are very different in my part of the nation than in others. Still, it did confuse me.

Now I'm less confused. What the article is talking about isn't really that applicable to my corner of the nation.
