The couple with the house had the joy in their 8 children (and perhaps some of their children!) to live in, and then later visit them in that large home. Now that all 8 children are on their own with their own children, the older couple will certainly downsize. I'd say that large house brought them a very happy and joyful life. The couple and the young woman are literally at opposite ends of their life arcs. Comparing their 'happiness' based on their home size is stupid.

I think the issue is most Boomers and older Gen Xers grew up in small modest homes where they had to share bedrooms, fight over time in the bathroom and what to what to watch on TV. So, they wanted more when they were older. Millennials and Gen Zers aren't having kids or just 1 child, so they don't need extra rooms and space. I live in a house built in 1948 and you can tell it was built at a time when people spent more time outside. A lot of older homes had bigger porches where people spent more time. Also, they don't address the elephant in the room that people under 40 don't make as much as their elders to afford the bigger homes.

Small homes for me are more practical and lively as compared to big mansions which make us feel lonely and detached.

Downsized by 1/2 recently and it was terrible to realize I was such a big consumer $$$$$$! I’d completely filled up a house with tons of stuff that meant nothing to anyone and cleaning it for 14 years was enough for me. Kids aren’t sentimental and so I’d be leaving a burden one day. Facts.

Interesting segment. I have lived in many countries and the living culture can range from compact and sustainable (Western Europe) to super expensive and cramped (London) to oversized and palatial (Dubai, Saudi). Every culture has its own implicit views about what “the good life” is, and home size is usually correlated with that. Emerging markets and the US generally go with “bigger is better” while Western Europe now value traits like urban location/walkability, environmental sustainability, practicality (cleaning etc,) which even for rich people, imposes some sort of socially acceptable limits on home size. Someone with a 20,000 sqft house might be considered a villain in Switzerland or Norway, but a success in Dubai or Saudi Arabia, or most of the US for that matter. To me, the upper limit of a usable home is probably 8-10,000 sqft for a family, but anywhere above 2,000 for a family of 4 works fine. I’ve stayed in palatial homes and just getting around the place and interacting with people was a major pain. Everyone is different in terms of aspiration, taste, lifestyle and need to impress others. This is a primary feature of modern capitalism and in the US, the socially ingrained culture is that a huge home is a status symbol and signifier of success, even when taken to levels many people might consider absurd, extravagant or even reprehensible. Celebrity and UHNWI culture in the US now considers homes worth 10s up to even low 100s of millions to be within the bounds of normality for the top 0.1%.

I rather have a small home surrounded by other homes where the backyards connect to a shared park space. People could connect and interact.
