Lots of people around the world live in 1 room apartments. Tokyo and HK are full of them. I have friends that grew up in 1 room apartments, parents and all.
There's also that eco movement for tiny multipurpose 1 room housing.
Not saying I don't prefer more rooms but I certainly wouldn't go as far as saying something is wrong with 1 room.
- sacado2 8y agoAlthough I don't think living in 1 room when you're alone (or maybe a couple) in necessarily bad, I can't understand how living with a whole family in a single room can be ok. I mean, how are you supposed to have sex when your parents / children are in the same room? How can you get a good quality of sleep when other people are awake in the same room or when you are forced to go to bed because other people want to sleep? How can you focus when doing your homework is the room someone is watching TV or playing video games? I know sometimes you don't have the choice, but I can't see it as something good or even neutral.
- InternetOfStuff 8y ago> how are you supposed to have sex when your parents / children are in the same room? Really quietly ;-) But in all seriousness, for a big family to sleep in the same room/place was the norm for much of humanity's existence. I agree that I'd find it awkward to be intimate without some privacy, but it doesn't seem to have stopped our ancestors.
