My wife and I don&#x27;t need a four bedroom house for the two of us either, but land is cheap, houses are cheap, and I still have a tech job in MI working remote making six figures. Never set foot in SV.<p>It&#x27;s not about need. It&#x27;s about the fact that my life is pretty awesome, I have tons of spare cash, I can relax on my deck and see nothing but trees and squirrels and my dogs running around.<p>How much room does a family of three need? I think 4 acres is better than a two bedroom, third floor apartment surrounded by pavement and cars.
