The average home size in the US is just over 2300sqft. That is plenty of room for two video conferencing adults separated, one nanny and 1-3 children.

Once someone or a couple are in a house, there [ADDED: often] really isn't a big problem although I imagine some people might want to make changes to their house or even upgrade to the degree their situation changes long-term. The real problem I see (and that has numerous people I know moving) is that they had a relatively small (often expensive) city apartment that was mostly for relaxing in the evening and sleeping and now it's a 24-hour thing.

Yeah. My point was my parent comment said that a large home was needed, but actually an average sized home will do.

I’ve worked out of a 880sqft city apartment pre-covid, and it wasn’t fun w/o children. With children would be hard.

And in the UK, where average houses are less than 1000sqft? :)

It's all relative... Have you seen the size of an American oven, fridge, or microwave? Absolutely insane

That does not help me in my 1500 sqft house with my two kids.

After I got married, we moved from my decent size house (3000 square feet) to a 1700 square foot apartment so we - my wife and two step children - could be in a better school system. I insisted on finding an apartment with a separate office. The office was small - built in desk and just enough room for chair, but I knew I would more than likely be working from home occasionally. We probably could have gotten some place a little cheaper if I didn’t insist on closed in office.
