While 700 square meters is indeed absurd for any family, 150 square meters seems a bit limiting. There are reasonable use-cases for houses larger than that. A living room, a kitchen, three bedrooms and an office will be hard to eke out of that much space. The justification is pretty idiotic: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/11/13/mega-homes-banned-central-london-westminster-council-sets-limit/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/11/13/mega-homes-banne... 50% higher than the average? OK, but what if you have above average needs? (Four kids, live in grandparents, etc.) There are plenty of "real people" who derive legitimate benefit from more than 150 square meters. Ah well. My city has its share of idiot housing policies, but at least this isn't one of them. We are buying a 300 square meter house in a few days, and it feels like it'll be just about right for our needs.
