I feel like with apartments getting smaller and the population growing, people might start migrating away from a lot of the things that people think of as homes today.
They'll probably get a lot smaller. Homes could over time be almost completely replaced by single space studios that function more or less as a room inside of a much larger building, kind of like living in a hotel. I could see converted hotels turning into mass studio apartment complexes over the next decade or so.
I don't really use a lot of kitchen appliances, so things like a massive oven and stove take up a lot of unnecessary space. A lot of the components that make up conventional housing can sometimes go pretty unused, like a yard or having a large room dedicated just for sleeping.
Conventional homes, especially in America, are huge. I can easily see that trend dying as the economy, social structure, and technological daily life change quickly for people all over the place.
