If you’ve only lived in small tiny spaces then you don't know what you’re really missing.
Big houses means big hobbies: you’re not gonna fire up a tablesaw on your tiny balcony, probably not gonna install a lift in your one car garage to do your own mechanical automotive work. Probably not going to throw big parties of 20+ people firing up a grill in the yard and sitting around a fire pit drinking beers and having conversation while kids jump in a pool. Probably not going to build a model train town in a spare bedroom.

Or if I didn't need a lift, at our place we had a big shed with a concrete floor, well lit, shop air compressor, etc. The downside was that it wasn't fully enclosed so it wasn't great in cold weather. Anyway, that may be the single biggest thing I miss about "back home". Where I live now, I can't even (officially) change the oil in my car or replace a set of brake pads without violating a rule of the place where I live. I swapped out an alternator a few weeks ago and managed not to get yelled at by the management people, but that's about as extensive as you can go here, either due to lack of amenities/equipment, or "the rules". Aaarggghh.
