[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What babble. Those that like smaller houses like them today and may like them tomorrow. Same goes for larger homes. The preference for less space is generally a niche preference held by those who prefer to engage in other forms of conspicuous consumption and/or what has been aptly described as conspicuous compassion. [/quote] Wow, you really had to contort yourself there, didn't you.[/quote] Not a bit. PP was making a silly argument that at some future date, "people" will look around and prefer smaller to larger homes because of the extra green space. Utter bullshit. Some people prefer smaller homes now, and will prefer them in the future. Others prefer larger homes now, and will prefer them in the future. In general, "people" prefer additional space to living in cramped quarters. Some of those who prefer less space prefer to spend their money on other things like restaurants and travel, and others just like patting themselves on the back 24/7 for "living small." If you don't understand that, that's your problem. [/quote] [b]I do not get the impression that people in large houses do not go out to eat, or travel. [/b] As for people who actually do have a smaller GHG footprint, you can tell yourself its about patting themselves on the back, but unfortunately the future of the planet is actually at issue. [/quote] +1 Isn't it baffling? The small house people have attempted to pigeon hole those who have more than them. I suppose they could write the story any way they wish, it still would *not* be true! Stop constantly discrediting yourselves, small house people, for your own sake. According to the small house people: I'm every negative thing they are - and more. :D [/quote]
