Tiffany is right. A lot of people opt for larger houses only to find that they hardly ever use some of the rooms – while still having to pay for the costs of heating them.

Absolutely, I say go for a small house on a good sized lot. A nice cozzy home is a lot cheaper. There is no need for all the extra rooms that are never used.

I have my wife and two kids in a 980 sq ft. duplex that we owner occupy it’s time for an upgrade but we definetaly appreciate what we have. Not suprising to see the retiree’s and baby boomers starting to gravitate to smaller housing.

In Ireland, people were building _big_ five-bedroom houses for small families before the crash. Now the problem in Ireland is not air-conditioning, it’s keeping the damp out and the heat in.

This article is very inspiring. This is very true, but I also believe in the saying "It's not the size the matters it's the performance that counts". As the world's population increases the earth is getting crowded. I believe this article will help people realize that a small space is very important and could be turned in a great place to live in, work in and others.

People should start to realize that a small space could look like a big space if they know what to do with it. In Japan, they are very cautious about the space that they live in. It is important to them because they are a fast growing country and they have a very small space to live in. I believe this would be experienced by the whole world in the centuries to come.
