said that people who move to
areas with wide open spaces
soon learn that the cost is high
People learn that they cannot

Mahaffy says that there must
be a greater effort to keep the
cost of homes from getting too
expensive
Lumber costs are a big factor
in the increased cost of homes,
he said Japan is outbidding
