Homes have been built where I live at a steady rate for twenty years. The newest development is about half a mile away. I live at the last place around Lake Washington to be developed. The new development paves over the last hobby farm in the area. It had a few horses.
No home near us has been built smaller than ours in all that time, and we have 1700 square feet. Americans can't afford them, but there seems to be a never ending stream of Chinese Ex-pats ready to buy them.
I did not buy Halloween candy last year. We had no kids. Every year there were fewer kids until there were none. New families can't afford to live here. But the new schools all could win architectural awards.
Older Chinese women have no fashion sense. They like to take walks for exercise wearing a mismatched patchwork of colors. Usually alone. Indian women always walk with someone else.
