I'm not a 20-something.

We're still safe to assume your parents are around 20 years older than you.

right, but the comment I was replying to was focused on the idea that I'm an angstful 20-something who is just starting a professional career. I'm not, and i have a much smaller place than my parents did at my age. 1200 sq/ft vs 3000ish sq/ft. I think my theory holds for areas that have already developed most of the available land. As population density increases we'll have smaller places than the generation before us in areas that have very little new land to develop.

I actually don't care that my place is smaller, and a bigger place wouldn't increase my quality of life much.
