Yes, expectations were lower and success wasn’t a guarantee, but, on average, I think people had a better chance of having a good life as far as them and their peers were concerned. > And for those who did - owning a sub-1000 sq. ft. house on a small city lot, plus one car, often cleared their "good life" bar. I think a lot of younger people would be ecstatic if they thought that was a possibility. The future is <1000 sq. ft. multigenerational (or roommate filled) apartments that will never be owned or windowless 300 sq. ft. dorm-like spaces if you’re lucky enough to be able to afford something for 1 person. Car ownership is going to disappear for everyone that isn’t in the upper middle class.
