In larger spaces, we find that we are a little less ... shall we say... rigid about those rules? The smaller the homes, the more organized we were. With more room to spread out, we find that we do indeed spread out. We miss the tight organization that smaller spaces require!

Much more cozier. (Not to mention saves more on the pocket book!) Heeheeehee! But yes, I hear ya on the driving vs walking issue. Remember the 80's band Missing Persons? They had a famous song; "Walking in L.A. -- nobody walks in L.A." @@ LOL!!

The size of our homes in London (and Germany) and the size of our home in Atlanta are fantastically different. Interestingly, we actually faced a challenge to find a smaller home in Atlanta where we looked. Everything available seemed to be a McMansion and politically, we did not want to make that choice. We went for a townhouse in a high density area, but we are still facing the driving vs walking issue, which is why we are currently looking for a new pedestrian friendly city. Yes!

Even though I grew up in So. Calif. - I am half Argentinian & half Italian. It's interesting what my relatives say when they come to visit us. They always wonder why our houses are so big & why we don't walk more. In Buenos Aires, there are lots of cafes & "villages" that you describe. Sometimes I feel isolated...... Great article!
