Could you/have lived in small spaces where home was 500 sq. ft.?

1. I can/am: I am living in slightly bigger space now (600+ sq. ft.), only because I consider it temporary. And 3/4's of my possessions are all still in another province..over 1,000 kms. away. So pretty bare where I am but need space because it's dearie's 2nd home to share too.

2. Before was in space, (still home), sharing 770 sq. ft. with dearie. I have half amount of space (and less possessions) compared to below.

3. Before #2, had my own home at 770 sq. ft. No one else kept/stored their stuff in my home.

So according to the article, the real estate crisis in the U.S., is causing some people to rethink their space needs and affordability.

Methinks when one becomes alot older, one's space needs and need to own alot of possessions/desires, shrinks. Am I right? It is true somewhat for me.


But I forgot, except bikes. Love and ownership of several bikes causes space needs.
