However, I just have to wonder if it's going to work out for them, considering the TONS of them they keep building where I live. How can that be sustainable from even an economic point of view (let alone, you know, environmental sustainability).

But, it is just the way people think now. Young married couples rarely start out in a "starter" home anymore -- they go right in for the McMansion and think they have a right to it. Ok, some of them -- not all. :) Don't want to generalize. You should have heard the comments my brother and his wife got when they bought a modest home (it's adorable, by the way), instead of trying to get something huge. Sigh.
