Size of Avg. US home over time

[briansd1]

Different stats:

By 2008, the typical American house had grown to 2,519 square feet — over twice the size of the 963-square-foot ones of 1950

This was an interesting article on architecture. I wish that the boom in So Cal had created a uniquely modern California style of architecture.

It’s interesting that in California, arguably the most innovative state in the country, we ended up with residential architecture that looks back to the Old Continent for inspiration (Italy, Spain).

I like the new modern buildings that went up at UCSD.

I checked out her book, “The Not So Big House” several years ago from the library and it, as well as her other books are chock full of ways of making the avg 1500-1800 sf Craftman-style home work for a family, using the built-ins available, plus her own extra built-ins, in unlikely places, for storage. The photography in all her books is “bar none.”

Quality over quantity, Piggs and location, location, location! This benefit can best be gleaned from a house with 1930’s architecture and “good bones.”

Oh, yeah, the bulk of you have appeared to have fled urban living . . . :=[

Well, it’s a fantastic read anyway, and you might learn something!!

You are right about location but we all have differing opinions about what is a good location. Urban living is great in truly urban areas but San Diego only has psuedo urban living. In the large metro areas back east downtowns are the major jobs centers and extensive public transit systems feed into it from every direction. You can live in an urban area and never leave it or get in a car.

In California most job centers lie outside the downtown areas and urbanisque areas of the largest cities. Downtown San Diego has one supermarket, no hospital, one movie theatre, no healthcare providers and very little park space. While urban living offers many benefits in certain major cities many of the best benefits are not present in SD.

The garage is where you put your power rack and Olympic Bumper weights so that you can safely drop them. Otherwise you’d break your tiles.

Although at the last house it was part kid-cave as well. I really miss not having to hear every xbox live conversation.
