- occamrazor 8y ago1100 sq.ft is enough space for 3 bedrooms and one kitchen/living room, which is definitely sufficient for a couple with 2 children.
- oh_sigh 8y agoI never said it wasn't. But good luck finding houses being built like that today.
- manigandham 8y ago1000 square feet is not tiny. Many families all over the world live in spaces even smaller.
- MagicPropmaker 8y agoI grew up in a house like that, and I came out just fine, and with no financial support from my parents -- including for college tuition! I went to a reasonably priced local school, didn't live in a fancy dorm and took the public bus back and forth to school, home, and my job. What we need to do to address "inequality" is to tax this transfer of wealth as income so responsible self-sufficient people who didn't get this privilege won't have to unduly subsidize these same people when they hit retirement age and get themselves in the same underwater situation.
