> Do people not entertain at their homes anymore?
I think about this a lot too. I have a real minimalist streak and occasionally entertain fantasies of radically downsizing my life. 95% of the time, I could be quite happy in a few hundred feet.
But that other 5% of the time, I'm having friends over and cooking or entertaining. At that time, I really appreciate having more space.
> Also, if the answer is just to go to restaurants/bars for all social events, that would seem to be more expensive in the long run.
Unless you entertain a lot, I think owning your own home large enough to entertain is the more expensive option in the long run.
