“Who knows what advantages you might find in a smaller home, even beyond what you were initially hoping for, after you move in?
Maybe you'll be inspired to become a more creative person when you take up residence in a quaint older neighborhood and get out of that suburban tract where you can have a house of any color as long as it's beige.
Maybe by putting your preadolescent kids in a bedroom together, they'll socialize better and develop closer bonds.
Maybe you and your spouse will rediscover each other when you're actually spending time together instead of tag-teaming on chores.”
