> Most people I know have one sink. Two sinks were found in rich peoples homes My tiny student apartment had one, but other than that even the social housing I've lived in had two. My experience is limited to slightly older housing in the Netherlands and Sweden tough, so the other commenters point about smaller sinks being a consequence of cutting costs might still be valid. Also, provided there is enough space this can be done in a single sink too: wash all items first, then rinse them. Speaking from (student) experience.
