[quote=SK in CV]This was pretty interesting but i think we’ve jumped the shark here.

I went from almost 4K sq ft 4/3 to a 2000 sq ft 3/3 by choice. I could have afforded a lot more. And I came pretty close to buying a 1600 sq ft 2/3, with the same non-bedroom floor space, and would have bought it if the living space flowed better. No landscaping to deal with, no external maint. Some of us old people really do make the choice to downsize.

But that’s a whole lot different than a 200 sq ft studio. We can stay focused without silly extreme arguments.[/quote]
Why did you buy the 4k 4/3 in the first place? Why didn’t you buy a 1600 2/3 instead of the 2k 3/3? Why not a 1200 2/2? You’re right, I’m being silly with the 200 sq-ft studio. It was an exaggeration to try and prove a point that everybody have their desire size and # of bed/bath. To say # of bed/bath and sq-ft doesn’t affect living standard is also just as silly. I don’t want to live in a 5/5 6k sq-ft but I don’t want to live in a 1300 sq-ft 3/1 either.
