LOL NO!

Heck, I moved into a 2000 sq ft home 2 years ago because that's what sits on this 5.25 acres spot that I love out here in the middle of a large forest and wildlife preserve. A 500 sq ft room is currently packed wall to wall, floor to ceiling, with stuff that won't fit into the rest of the house. I really need a home at least twice this size. There isn't room to even set up my stereo and speakers. I tried but I thought the vibration from the loud music would cause the place to eventually fall apart. And it just takes up too much space, made the living room feel even smaller. I've considered knocking this place down and building a 6,000 sq ft home but zoning law limits the size out here. And I'm already 65 years old. My luck would be that I'd probably die the day construction would be completed. I do have my large RV parked here, so I can at least use that for visitors (my grandkids actually like staying in there when visiting, it's just like going camping out here for them).

The tiny apartment high rises and no yards are for young and single city dwellers. They seek bars, theaters, and fine dining that cities offer. Families will require larger homes with yards for the kids and their dog. And those that are retired, like me, and seeking solitude and tranquil will want a larger yet property out in the country with trees surrounding them. They need a large garden to attend to and a large yard to spend their idle time mowing in the summer. They also need room for an outbuilding to contain their hobby (i.e. woodworking shop, or classic car restoration project).

Not all humans are the same and seek the same.

I skipped the young partying phase. Married abs started a family early. But I did rent a penthouse atop a highrise 10 years ago to experience the batchelor lifestyle for a while. Then sold my business and moved into the burbs. But the riots changed my mind and decided to get out into the countryside. And this is where I'm staying until the world ends next year, lol.

There are many retirees who would love to have small place with conveniences at their finger tips. A home and land take work and many don’t have the energy to do that. These are like independent living situations. Really not bad.
