Nah, 900 square ft is the size of a large apartment. That’s a bit cramped even for a couple. Just because you did it doesn’t mean it was good. You’re great grandparents worked in mines and didn’t go to school. Does that mean the child labor laws that protected you are superfluous?
Families live in large apartments lol. What’s your point? That apartments are only for students or young professionals? Medium density housing with better mass transit links is the future. Low density housing is not environmentally sustainable. I live with 2 kids in 64sqm. Its small but it’s adequate. I’m CBD adjacent, so I’ve no car.
My point is that 900 sq ft for a family isn’t unusual. Then or now. It’s an unrealistic and unsustainable vision that every child in every family gets their own bedroom.
Wow, ok… I live with my wife and our two cats in a home only a bit larger than that, in the suburbs… Kitchen, living, two bathrooms, three bedrooms out of which two were converted to home office, one for each. Got it at €92k, 4 years ago, in fucking Eastern Europe. Same house now costs €160k.
So, tbh, $200k+ în the US, somehow sounds reasonable…
I’m living in Seattle in an 840ft² apt, we’ve got a living room, dining room, kitchen and a fairly large bedroom. 3 bicycles, both our desks and bookshelves, plenty of closet space… Bud, what are you talking about, cramped?? Lmao
Do you have a full sized washer, dryer, and dishwasher? Do anyone work from home and do you have a separate storage unit? You’re leaving out a lot of details and I said a bit cramped. Not that it was impossible to live there. I live in almost the same sized apartment and with a partner and both of us are pretty clutter free but I still find myself needing a storage unit.
I don’t have a separate storage unit, that’s moronic. I do work from home some days, and my partner and I have plenty of room. Sounds more like a skill/organizing issue on your part. 🤷 Good luck

My point is your past suffering isn’t proof of anything. And what society considers enough shouldn’t be based on foolish nostalgia.
I ask again, were the child labor laws that protected you wasteful. Because having children work instead of going to school certainly “worked” before.
