than half of their income to maintain more space than they need."

The Problem of Overhousing
Having more living space than one needs can be thought of as "Overhousing." In and of itself,
overhousing is not necessarily a problem. But according to HUD, many elderly as spending the
majority of their income to maintain a living space that is larger than they need.
The modularity of Homeostasis prevents overhousing--the resident can easily sell or rent out any
unneeded space.
