They actually did studies and predictions. It is not pretty. The story is that when we were an agricultural society, huge families lived in teeny tiny houses for generations. As we become more industrialized, we first saw the nuclear family (2 parents and 2 children), then single families (1 parent and 2 children and the dad living by himself, and then finally digital nomads (1 dude living by himself or shacking up with 3 other dudes). We may need the same number of housing units as families split up and everyone becomes a digital nomad. The long term strategy is that everyone lives in an RV and we just move city to city and live in an RV park. When I was growing up, we called people who lived in RV parks "trash". I guess we will become trash.
