Richard M. Nixon, who was elected President in 1968 and re-elected in 1972, resigned from office effective at noon on August 9, 1974. His move came amid impeachment proceedinâ¦gs in Congress related to the Watergate break-in and other politically motivated crimes.
According to the National Association of Home Builders, the average home size in the United States was 2,330 square feet in 2004, up from 1,400 square feet in 1970.
How much does the average new house cost in the U.S? The Census Bureau says it is about $80 per square foot (or $120,000 for a 1,500 square-foot home), but this misses some additional expenses, such as closing costs, opportunity costs (on average, housing isnât the best investment), costs to furnish the house, interest costs, property taxes, etc.
