Of course, this ' build them small, build them cheap, cram them in' approach maximises the profit for the builders. If I was cynical, I'd ask what the planners who allowed this are getting out of it.
On the other hand, if I want to downsize here in rural Ireland it is nigh on impossible to buy a small house as the builders all want to build oversized places...
