The author makes a point of telling us how and why the houses we live in are all the same and way too big. Statistics are given that houses are being made larger and families are getting smaller and why is this "Big Gulp" theory happening. If you pull the roof off of any house you find, no matter what the style, you will find exactly the same thing. A given number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and at least a three car garage. She supports her point by stating that the number of square feet has gone up by almost a thousand square feet since 1970. That is an awful lot of space to put less people in. That we can't get cozy if your bedroom is the size of a barn.
I would have to agree with the authors central point only because I see the huge homes being built all over every neighborhood.
