In the West • Housing for factory owners and managers. • Expectation is that children will finish education at

age 21. • University attendance is expected` • Typically houses with large mortgage and large debt • Acceptance of debt

In the East • More blue collar workers • Expected that education ends at age 16 • University is not considered • Smaller houses less debt and possibly rented • No acceptance of debt
