Also considering 1400 sq ft (130 sq m) too small to raise a family is peak American... That's bigger than 99.9% of apartments people live in in Europe and raise a family just fine.
- Tijdreiziger 2y agoAt first, my jaw was open looking at the photos. Then I remembered… oh yeah, everything is bigger in America (especially in Texas)!
- sevg 2y agoI suppose if you want to raise a family AND have a huge dedicated lan party area, then maybe 130 sqm isn't enough. But I do agree with you. We live in a 4 bedroom detached house approx 120 sqm and this is plenty of space for a family. In fact, it's above average space out of all the families I know...
- maccard 2y agoI live in what would be considered a large house in the UK and it’s marginally larger than that!
- valzam 2y agoIn fact, calling 1400 sq ft a bachelor pad and then complaining about housing is unaffordable there is hilarious on many levels.
- antisthenes 2y agoThe most hilarious level is that 99% of bachelors that I know spend 99% of their time in 1 room. So they don't really need more than a studio anyway. Nor would they clean/maintain it anyway.
- Mistletoe 2y ago3/4 of Americans are overweight or obese now. We need a lot of room.
- nvarsj 2y ago1400 sq ft is a large terraced house in London and will cost over 1m GBP (so about 1.4m USD). Yeah, 1400 as "small" is very US oriented :). But having grown up in the US, I really miss the space of the houses.
