What's up with the american fascination for big houses?

[Anonymous No.13127926]

I see it here, on reddit, on blogs and whatever. People always talk about big houses as some metric of success.

I do not say everyone need to live in a 30 m2 cuckbox, but this doesn't mean only because you are a 40 year old well paid boomer, that you should have a 300 m2 house with a massive garden and garage

What do people do in those big houses , walk around between the rooms for fun?

Cause poor people have such little space.

I'm paying 2500 a month for a 700 sq ft studio here in Los Angeles. I dream about having two rooms.

>300m^2 is big
That only like 3000 sq ft. That's not small, but the house in your pic is like 3x that.

For a single 1-3 rooms is totally OK, for a couple 2-4 then a 2 story house max with kids and one room for each sure

I'm talking about those boomer big houses so many seem to aspire to buy, the cost of upkeep and to just furnish it must be extreme

Houses are no different than anything else in America - mass produced pieces of shit (80% of them) that are expected to be worn out by <date>, and replaced or at least go through a major overhaul. A decent house should last at least four generations of a a family, 150 years with minor maintenance + new/refurbished appliances, houses like these are in single digits here.

yeah nothing like wasting your time in traffic with other idiots, only to get home to your big boomer house and

cut crass
clean 3 bathrooms
300 m2 floors
think of repairs, like roof, garage doors, stones, fence etc
higher probability of furniture or stuff breaking down since you have more of it

Here if you buy nice high end apartment you only share the gym with few successful and wealthy people who live there,
most of the time they are empty same goes with pools or saunas.

a few things not mentioned here, because y'all are fucking scrub children who will never own property.
paying to cover the interest on a mortgage is tax deductible.
that and other tax laws incentivize buying a house bigger than you need.
many americans see their house as a nest egg, so people buy it aspirationally, thinking it will reward them more in the future.
and of course status.

oh, and the inherent fact that these developers figured out they can slowly yet surely restrict supply in their region with bigger parcels and fewer domiciles, eventually increasing the value of any shit they pop out.

I have a 600 sqft apartment and don't even use the living room. When I buy a house in the countryside for retirement, I'll probably demolish it and build something smaller. It will save on heating bills and property tax in the long run.

After renting for so long you want the space.

And then you grow to hate maintaining it all.
