Yeah they have so much empty homes that they have to live like sardines in hallway sized "apartments" and pods.

Many of theses houses have been left for different reasons, though the catalyst is often the original owner dying. Sometimes an heir refuses to accept the home their families left behind—as was the case with Thursfield’s home. Others do not name an inheritor, or relatives who have been passed the home don’t need it but don’t want to sell family land out of respect.
Most of these houses still belong to someone and aren't for sale.
Adding that the new generation wants/prefers to live in urban areas where there are no empty homes. That's what I'm talking about.
