Reply #36: I was reading an article about a "green" home

and they said they got their ideas from a book called something like Very Small Homes. The house had 2500 ft. just for two people! I just don't know who considers that a small home.
They must think we are really slumming it in our 1600 ft. and family of three.
I'm sure there are exceptions and good reasons for some people, but generally I think it's just another trend toward ostentatious consumerism and I find it disgusting.
