    Families live in large apartments lol. What’s your point? That apartments are only for students or young professionals? Medium density housing with better mass transit links is the future. Low density housing is not environmentally sustainable. I live with 2 kids in 64sqm. Its small but it’s adequate. I’m CBD adjacent, so I’ve no car.

      My point is your past suffering isn’t proof of anything. And what society considers enough shouldn’t be based on foolish nostalgia.

      I ask again, were the child labor laws that protected you wasteful. Because having children work instead of going to school certainly “worked” before.

        My point is that 900 sq ft for a family isn’t unusual. Then or now. It’s an unrealistic and unsustainable vision that every child in every family gets their own bedroom.
