This isn’t just a fad. With housing prices soaring and interest rates high, small homes aren’t just trendy - they’re a survival strategy

Here’s what happened:

1/ Student debt crushed millennials. Between towering loans and tighter credit post-2008, young people can’t afford those McMansions their parents bought.

I will only stream wildly popular artists from now on to stick it to ‘em.
