I’m one of those asian immigrant idiots with a PhD that somebody here was refering to 🙂

When we first moved into 4S Ranch, I was really taken aback at how many the new houseowners here were asians, something like >80%. I guess the reason is very simply. It’s not that they’re necessirily that bullish on housing, I myself am neutral, it simply comes down to income. These people are two-income, high earning, and generally frugal, saving families. Quite simply put, they’ve got the money. Another down turn wouldn’t affect them that much, having > 20% equity in the house.

“If a house is small, it should be well designed (like a modern Scandinavian or Japanese house).”

I agree. However there’re only so many ways one can be “creative” with a small place.

We live in a 2900 sq ft new Mcmansion now. Maybe it doesn’t quite qualify being below 3000. We’re a family of 6 and love the space. Could we survive in a smaller house? Yeah, but miserbaly. We rented a 1600 sq ft townhome for two years. Would I trade a big yard and privacy from neighbours for more space inside? Definitely yes.

Now commuting time is a different beast. I would NOT want to drive > 45 min one way just to have a big house.
