Nancy Folbre, emerita professor of economics, comments in a story about the high cost of having a baby. She says many couples either buy larger houses before a baby is born or move to a bigger house once the baby arrives. They may also move in order to be in a community with better schools. In both cases, the couple sees housing costs increase as part of having the new child, she says. (Ehow.com, 1/22/15)
