My thoughts are, what happened to our economy that pushed the need to build affordable housing? We used to have a manufacturing base that produced jobs. We used to have other vocational industries that produced livable wages. Houses used to be smaller (no >1500-1800 sq ft average). Neighborhoods were walkable. Kids rode bicycles safely to school.

Why, what was the reason that suits our needs as middle class families? How many webpage designers do we really need?
