The sq ft per person in the average US home during the Depression was about 200 to 250. The sq ft per person in the average US home in the 2010s was about 1000. Wake me when the sq ft per person returns to the 250 level. Most comparisons between the Great Depression and today are deeply flawed in one way or another.
