Also considering 1400 sq ft (130 sq m) too small to raise a family is peak American... That's bigger than 99.9% of apartments people live in in Europe and raise a family just fine.

I suppose if you want to raise a family AND have a huge dedicated lan party area, then maybe 130 sqm isn't enough.

But I do agree with you. We live in a 4 bedroom detached house approx 120 sqm and this is plenty of space for a family. In fact, it's above average space out of all the families I know...

In fact, calling 1400 sq ft a bachelor pad and then complaining about housing is unaffordable there is hilarious on many levels.

  • The most hilarious level is that 99% of bachelors that I know spend 99% of their time in 1 room.

    So they don't really need more than a studio anyway. Nor would they clean/maintain it anyway.

I live in what would be considered a large house in the UK and it’s marginally larger than that!

At first, my jaw was open looking at the photos.

Then I remembered… oh yeah, everything is bigger in America (especially in Texas)!
