i live in a starter home built in 1950. it is 800 sq ft. but those of that time knew what mattered. it has a spacious detached garage and the lot is huge.

That's about the size my wife grew up in. Slightly smaller than I grew up in.

They were much simpler in construction too, compared to today.

All of which drives costs up.

My dad had nearly the same size at 795sq feet, but the 7 (!) kids managed just fine!

played a lot outside, didn't you?

Not me, my dad was one of the kids, and I would assume yes. Bunk beds... 5 boys 2 girls, 3 bedrooms total in the house
