[quote=scaredyclassic]not sure if this is an example but my kid is aspiring to be an engineer in a major city and live in a “microapartment” of about 200 sq ft. I thoughtt his was awesome.

does seem to indicate some scaled down expectations…back in the 70s i think he could have easily gotten a 400 sq footer[/quote]

The scalded down expectations (tiny home) thing is way over hyped, just as much as it was in the 70’s.

I don’t no how many time I heard, (you won’t have as much as your parents) back in the 70’s early 80’s, but it was a lot.

What they really want is a big house out of the city just as like the boomer did IMO.
