Whenever I go into Ikea, I marvel at how functional and spacious the sub-600sf urban space or the sub-800 sf two bedroom space sample homes they’ve done are compared to any of the 1000-1200 1 bedroom apartments I rent in the 90s.
They’re far more spacious and useable than many of the 3/2, 4/2 1200-1600 ranch SFRs built for the suburban boomers in the 50-70s littering southern California, IMO.
