only the newer ones are much larger. the ones built in the 60s are still the same size they've always been. the point is # of hours worked to afford a house of a given set size is higher today than it was in the 70s. same is true for cars too and they haven't improved much: i know i'm cherry picking here but look at a corrola from today, the mpg is 35mpg, the same as it was 40 to 50 years ago. the new one is heavier than ever, loaded with safety features rarely used, nullifying most of the mpg tech increases.
- WalterBright 5y agoThere's a neighborhood near mine, where all the houses were built by the same outfit with 3 distinct floor plans. I'd guess it was built in the 1960s. Most of the houses have had additions built in by now, and extensive revisions and upgrades.
