I live in a 2100 square foot house and the living room, dining room, and kitchen are all the same giant room. We got the house mostly because of this room, because it allows us to keep tabs on our two little ones pretty easily. We don’t make great use of the other 1000 square feet. It was more an issue of “we want to live in this nice neighborhood” so we bought too much house. I really wish I could have bought a 1200 square footer in a safe neighborhood but where I live in flyover country that’s just not how it works.
