    Smaller houses or apartments are actually great. Not like shed sized but 500-1000 sqft units are great for singles or couples on a budget. I’ve met a lot of retirees that downsize as well.

      It really depends what you want to do. I like having a workshop / maker space and a home office. You need space for that kind of thing.

      I want a tiny house because I don’t have the time, energy or interest to care for a big house. Give me an adequately sized indoor space and a big garden

      As a European, i have no idea how large this is. Could be a football field, could be a dog shed

        I hate that my country uses a mix of metric and imperial units but sqft is the most common unit for area of housing or rooms. Its about 45-90 square meters, which is something you could have easily converted online or with a calculator.
