Sorry, that wasn&#x27;t intended to come across as patronizing. My house is just over 1400sq&#x2F;f, which is on the smaller side by American standards. I think a lot depends on whether you have a family. As a bachelor I lived comfortably with a roommate for years in a 600 sq&#x2F;f apartment, but I wouldn&#x27;t want to do that with kids and a dog. In short, I don&#x27;t think we&#x27;re really in disagreement.
