I repeat: If that's enough for you, that's fine. Other people want/need more space, and painting them as if they are wasteful or want "mcmansions" is disingenuous. I work from home. I'm also a homebody who likes his alone time. I need space, and I use all of the space I have. There isn't a room in my home that goes unused on an almost daily basis. Living with that many bodies in such close proximity would give me a panic attack. We don't need to moralize this issue.
