If you think downsizing is a con, you might find that city life is not for you. Unless you are relatively wealthy, personal space (both in your living space and outside of it) is always limited the closer you get to a big city’s downtown core.

Personally, I love it. I grew up in a small home in a very rural area and as an adult I’ve only lived in urban apartments smaller than about 600 square feet.

I still own a lot of shit, but it’s nothing compared to people I know who live in the suburbs and fill 2000 (or bigger) square foot homes with stuff and have entire rooms they barely use.
