[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess the question is what you would do with the extra space.  If you have five kids, that's one thing.  Many of my colleagues have ridiculous commutes that they hate, and they admit that they have rooms in their houses that no one goes into from one day to the next.

I think part of it stems from the fact that many are from rural or Midwestern areas where housing is inexpensive, and they just think they are supposed to have a house of that size.  It's nice that this area has a lot of different neighborhoods with different characteristics, but that's all the more reason to live in a place that matches your true preferences.  Whatever you do, don't live your life according to a script someone else wrote.[/quote]

Some people want larger houses because they grew up in cramped flats or apartments in cities in the U.S. or abroad.  Or they may have 2-3 kids, not five.  You profess to be objective, but it seems you hope people will follow your own "script" and, lemme guess, live in a small, expensive house in DC or Arlington. [/quote]
