Note that "home" ≠ "house". Gp said "home", which is correct, and your response is a non sequitur.



Gp said home but the article he links to is talking about houses.


No, it's talking about housing units, which includes both single- and multi-family construction.


The 6.5 million number number the original poster mentioned is for single family houses, as per the article.

It does say when you include multifamily, the gap drops to 2.3 million.


From the article

> The United States is not building enough homes to account for the number of people setting up their own households.

This refers to houses.
