Some people live without a home at all. That doesn't mean it's a healthy way to raise kids.

Are you comparing living without a home to living in a small apartment in a major city?

Given people seemed to raise kids and survive in 983 sq ft during the 1950s (average house size) I don't see why people think we need massive houses to raise children in today.

No he's saying that an environment being "survivable" isn't an argument for what should be an acceptable environment for everyone.

Yes, but I was using the definition of "small" from your previous post: 300 sq ft, not 900+ sq. ft.
