   Great article, Emmanuel. What about the fact that houses are just bigger, we demand more of a house? Didn’t we buy about half the square footage in the 60’s than we buy today? We used to have a public space, a kitchen, 3 beds, and a bath. Now, we have lots of different public spaces.

   Is this true? And, if so, why is it? Would we be embarrassed to own a small house?

   So many great points!

   I think it is much more complicated than the infographic!

   We should never be embarrassed about size. If we lived in Europe, it would be a completely different story

   !thanks for engaging!
