- yumraj 4y agoFor the record, I was referring to 3-4 bedroom, and not 1-2 bedrooms. If one is looking for subsidized housing, isn't kids sharing room a reasonable compromise? Regarding 3-4 bedroom, yes for most of the world they will be luxury.
- msbarnett 4y ago> For most of the world, yes. This is not really true for most values of "most", and the places it is true, the culture tends to be much different than you would find in California, eg) you are generally not looking at children being assigned hours of homework to perform in which they have no space to work on it, nor ability to work on it without distraction while the rest of the family lives on top of them. > If one is looking for subsidized housing, isn't that a reasonable compromise? You may want to look up the history of tenements in the US. Broadly speaking the answer turns out to be: no, this is not a good compromise.
- lupire 4y agohow many bedrooma should a famiy with 4 kids have? What if a grandparent or two lives there? More bedrooms meaning more people makes kitchen and bath more efficient.
