[quote=briansd1]A small house is fine if it’s well designed to make use of space and keep away the clutter.
People want space because of the clutter in their houses.
It believe that it’s a lifestyle thing. Consumer goods are cheap so people buy just to keep entertained. Then they need space to keep all the junk.
The self-storage business has also exploded. I have a friend who keeps 2 self-storage units full of junk. He keep on paying every month because he can’t throw away the junk and had no time to go through it.[/quote]
forget self storage… Look at the full garages… Your car is typically your second most expensive purchase (house being first)… Yet people park their cars outside – so they can put their boxes of cheap crap in their garages.
