How much is your local "Trump at the Pump Tax?"

4,000 feet is large for older existing homes around here, and small for newer homes.
I grew up in a 1,200 foot ranch with 4 of us, and now live in 2,800 feet with mrs b.

 

I'd say 2500's about the right size for a typical, American-dream-size home.

Never owned one tho -- childhood homes were 1500 or smaller and single-level; largest I'd rented was a 2500 two-level 3-bath w/ two-car garage... and whilst having the room was fine, lived in less a quarter of it. Maybe betray's my JA side; didn't think staying with family in Japan was at all a sacrifice, whilst others would think it's like living in furnished tree houses with robotic toilets...

Can't even think about how much housework you'd have to do, for 4K. Had a friend with one in WA and ~2 acres in back next to the forest... and that guy was constantly cleaning and fixing it, esp the roof in Western WA...

 

In my area even though 100+ year old 400-600sqft bungalows exist they actually carry a premium because it’s functionally illegal to build anything under 1000sqft.

the city wants every property to be as expensive as humanly possible to maximize profit
