The article discusses how rising home prices in the U.S. have driven a shift towards denser housing options, allowing individuals to live nearer to friends and family. Phil Levin, inspired by his own experience, launched a company called Live Near Friends to help people find suitable real estate for communal living. This approach aligns with the trend of 'missing middle housing,' which consists of duplexes, townhomes, and other smaller units, providing affordable alternatives to traditional single-family homes and promoting stronger community bonds.
Levin believes that having a support network within five minutes is essential for happiness, along with affordable housing and the ability to live close to loved ones.
The rise of so-called 'missing middle housing' presents an opportunity for diverse, affordable living arrangements, moving away from the single-family home model.
