Re: Build yourself a dollhouse to save money!

  • ha! Although, I've read several articles about people downsizing to these micro-houses. Design Star this year also had a challenge featuring houses that looked remarkably like this one.
    A big old middle finger to you, stupid Nest.

    Yeah, but that was for 1 person.  You can't safely have a family in that space.

    While I do roll my eyes at the space Americans claim to "need" I do think there's some minimum, and it's bigger than 200 sq ft for a family.  

    There was something on the travel network about expats, and one episode was set in Tokyo.  A family was whining that they had to downsize to 2500 sq ft in freaking Tokyo, and how hard it was.  They get a big fat stfu from me.  Lamenting the kitchen I had in Korea with 2 burners and no oven is totally legit :)

    That is like watching House Hunters and hearing people talk about how 2600sf is just way too small for their growing family (of which there is 1 small child).

    Well I suppose, as long as privacy isn't on that list.
