Generally, forests are not deforested for housing, although in some countries (primarily in Europe, the USA, and Canada) there may occasionally be a developer who will buy and then cut down an area of forest.

However, because tropical rainforests are not usually in developed countries, housing isn't the reason that they are cut down. Instead, they are usually logged for timber or to make room for farmland.
