Thinks like heating and car heavily depends on the usage, which I guess is based on the USA average.

US houses are HUGE and even here in Europe square m2 / person double in the last decades.

- we don’t have a housing problem, we have a surface inflation problem.

- heating is directly correlated to the volume to heat. Heating 100m2/person with (coal Chinese steel, resource extracted, logistics…) solar and batteries or heat pump isn’t necessarily more carbon or water efficient that 20m2/person with gas.

Bonus point: the resident will have to think twice before filling his property with garbage consumerism.

Ps: my GF and I live in 80m2 house, the precedent family where… 2 adults and 3 children! I thing the space is wayyy enough for us but people visiting regularly remark "it’s so tiny/small! "
