Empty offices are becoming apartments in Texas’s big cities

1200sq ft is "decent" I would say. For a single or two person household at least.

I would hate to try to WFH in a 1200sq ft place with family though. I think at least a floor of separation would be needed, lol

This is the kind of culture clash I was fishing for here!

If someone from my corner of the world made the same statement I would make light of them, calling them "temporarily embarrassed Americans".

Personally I wouldn't know what to do with 1000sq ft and up, but this comment makes me think that I perhaps simply lack imagination.

Well, its easy for me :P

Server rack, 3D printing station/workshop, home gym, kitchen, storage, bathroom, yard equipment (typically a garage, tbf), home theater, deck (does this count?), kids rooms, etc.

That certainly wouldn't fit into 1000sqft.

I mean, I believe its totally possible to live within 1000sqft. You just have to "give up" a lot of things or a lot of potential... but you also gain some. I hate mowing the yard, for example, lol.
