The houses do seem to get smaller and I think this is related to property being inherently finite or the effects of concentration that lead to urbanization (or both).
The houses do get better in quality though (higher standards, more facilities etc.).
Mh hm, yes. House area per person seems to have tripled since the 60s everywhere from Japan to India, Germany, or the US. But it didn’t lead to shortages everywhere.
This isn’t really true though. Over time, people keep working fewer hours, for fewer years, doing easier work, and getting paid more in exchange.

Housing is definitely a problem, but it stands out because it’s an outlier, not because everything is like that.

That’s not really true either. The average house size in the US is getting larger while the average number of people living it in is getting smaller:
