- People with dreams who want to work part-time and also pursue their dreams (college, bootstrapping a business idea, learning standup).
- People who only have enough money for renting A ROOM and don't want to rent one of five or six bedrooms in a sprawling family home shared with multiple strangers while fearing that the movie Single White Female may be a little too real.
- People contemplating getting married SOLELY as a means to afford housing and hating the entire universe that the thought ever crossed their mind.
- College students, seniors, single parents with only one or two kids, and anyone else who wants more life and less housing burden whose household size is no more than three people (or will be soon).
Maybe their children are moving out and going off to college.
Maybe they are getting divorced.
Change happens. There doesn't haven't be any nefarious plot involved in a shrinking household.
