smaller: I can see that. Closer together, not so much.
I do not buy into the smaller homes close together...that is the problem now in the cities. Especially the big, crime-laden cities like Chicago, Philedelphia, DC, Detroit, LA etc etc etc.
Give me a home on the range...where the buffalo roam...etc
I live in a nice house on 5 1/2 acres. I would not choose to live in a cracker-box on a 50 ft frontage lot.
I am not rich, we live on SS and a small pension. And before you all go off on me for the SS, it is not an entitlement. I earned it. 15% of my pay for 40 years went into it. If that had been invested at a modest interest rate, I would have several millions in the bank now. Welfare is an entitlement. I am not on welfare.
I did the math one time (please don’t make me do it again!) — every human being on the planet could comfortably fit in the State of Texas (or frigidly but with twice the arm-swing room in Alaska).
We don’t need to be closer and the urban planners who want to make it so don’t plan on living in their inventions.
Maybe a return to multiple families under one McMansion roof. San Jose has been the home of the return of the 1800’s boarding house.
My thought exactly.
Well, liberals will want their houses -- and everyone else's houses too -- closer together. They like the idea of row housing the same way they like trains.
Agreed...I don't mind a small, comfortable home...but I have no use for neighbors.
