A by Dick Barnes associated press writer Washington apr in the decades ahead Middle class americans Hunting for a single family House on a spacious lot Are going to become a rarity. Rising casts May drive the average family out of the three bedroom subdivision House Market before the nation solves its housing crisis. But even if they done to tomorrows homeowners will be lured increasingly to townhouses ownership apartments and other varieties of Cluster and Multi family development. Soaring Cost and growing Scarcity of land is making the traditional 100-by-150-foot lot a luxury beyond most incomes.

Because the builder had to erect a More expensive House yielding More profit to justify tying up funds on the costlier lot. A if i had $5,000 lots 1 could build for $18,000 to $20,000 and sell All Day Long a said Ben Deane a major builder in Newport Beach Calif but because see housing.
