Re: Living in a smaller house
In my case the sq ft house I mention (1300) would seem large in most cases but you can not walk in the upstairs since the ceiling except for 4 ft strip since the ceiling bows to the floor after 4 feet. Its 13 by 15 ft upstairs. I guess can be used for storage and not much else. The other room is super long and skinny. 13 by 7 feet. But the kicker is the closet is on end and the door is on the other long end. Can’t put a bed in there without jumping over it. so I feel the sq feet usage is miss leading and reality it just a one room house as the useable bedroom is large enough for a bed but only a bed with a limited closet. This house cost over 400,000 in the "as in" condition and there is just nothing with that price in any surrounding areas where I live stretch out for 3 hours around. So smaller house where we live does not mean cost efficient!
It’s either living here or live in a 600 ft town home with no yard and no privacy and only one bedroom surrounded in a very congested bad side of the city for the next level price. I much rather live out in the mountains were deers traverse on our yard.
I am seriously suspicious of how so many people own all these millions of homes located here. An older home of 40 years of age runs for 750,000!!!!
