Maybe they like where they live and their family is happy there. Not everything is about money.

This is fine as long as those people don't have children because those children will have nowhere to live

Its still a significant boon to first time home buyers size of home irrelevant. $17,500 (3.5%) down is a couple months savings in NYC $100,000 (20%) is a couple years. Sure its a small studio, but it's a studio very close to work surrounded by amenities in a city where most people spend very little time at home. There is also crazy value in locking in cost of housing while costs around you rise and not having to own a car or insurance and maintenance for said car.

The FHA home loan program reduces the downpayment on a mortgage from 10-20% to 3.5% which means savings of a couple thousand rather than tens to hundreds of thousands.
