It's not just the younger generation. Society in general says/ thinks that more is always better. Its crazy to me that the average home size is 2,000+ when the average family size has gone way down. My grandparents's house was 1,300 sq feet and they had 4 children (with a big backyard for play).
Kim, I think you would really enjoy the show "Living Mortgage Free." The show interviews different people who have chosen alternative housing types...which are mostly commercial building turned into homes. Although, there are some really cool boat, container, and small houses too.
