O/T >>I don't ahve a singel friend my age who has or wants a house over 3500sq ft.<<

I have a friend who has a 4000 sq ft house and a cousin with a 5000 sq ft house. Both are in the San Diego area and both are upper middle class - definitely not what most would consider 'rich'.

I think this is totally ridiculous. Our house is 'only' 3000 sq ft and my wife wants to downsize because we waste too much money on heating - and that's also in Southern California. I can't even imagine heating a 3000 sq ft house in a place that gets snow in the winter. If you insulate too much you get poisoned by radon and household chemicals.

Between global warming and running out of oil & gas, people with big houses are going to eventually get squeezed.

Of course that may take a few decades ...

There are these companies that come to your house and build closets for you so that you can use the space you have more efficiently. Maybe there is a niche for someone to do that with an entire house. I bet most families could do with half as much space if every square foot was efficiently used. E.g. we have a 'bonus room', one of two living rooms and a dining room that are probably used <1% of the time (i.e. < 14.4 minutes/day). Probably 1000 sq ft right there. Makes little sense. We must be idiots.
