So they build their own houses, or they buy a house that is situated in the area where houses are cheaper. It is better to live in the bad part of town, they say, than not to live in a house at all. They can also buy an old house and redesign it; then they decorate it with old style. furniture. Sometimes they can make the house more beautiful than a new one. Usually it is not difficult for people to find an old home to buy. Many old people decide they don't need a big home after their children leave.
