Architect Sarah Susanka talks about whether a bigger house is a better house. Susanka says bigger is not always better - that size does not necessarily lead to more satisfaction when it comes to a home.
Susanka talks about how American culture inundates its citizens very early in life that bigger is better, but it is not true and it is not sustainable. "We've got a confusion between size and that sense of satisfaction," Susanka says. You can even see it in the portions of our food.
Quality and care put into your home provides more satisfaction than mere size according to Susanka.

Well I grew up in New York where bigger is not always attainable so I never got the Mc Mansion syndrome some people suffer from. I do believe in BIG closets and renting storage space!

Intriguing. I'm not part of the pack that buys things simply to show off to others that I'm doing so well, I can afford to live "above my raisin' " (as the old song suggests).
Bigger, better?
Leave that to the "Sexperts" to argue over.
I'll stick to only what I need to get by, not what I want everyone else to gawk at. - 3 years ago
