[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My home is 1300 square feet and it is not enough room. We are a family of almost 6 and 2 dogs.  I think we’d be good in around 2000-2300 square feet. [/quote]

Now that sounds awful.[/quote]

We are a family of 5 in a 3500 sq ft house in McLean - a little more space would be nice, maybe up to 5000 sq ft would be nice, but anything over that feels unnecessary even if housekeeping were included.

However comments like this and everyone lying about not wanting 10000 sq ft sums up why some folks on DCUM can't fathom why the orange one won - what we enjoy here, our values, are not normal for a lot of other people.  Yes 1300 for 6 and pets is small and "sounds awful" by 2021 DCUM standards, but remember that was par for the course growing up in the 70s and 80s.  More siblings for GenX, shared bedrooms in ramblers, tiny cape cods, or apartments, but a lot of us were happy because we didn't know what we didn't have.  Full disclosure I vowed I'd never share a bedroom after college, and fortunate I was able to keep that[/quote]
