With wi-fi, the bathroom serves as a meeting room, the dining room....well, there's not much use for a dining room anymore. Put the cat tree there, I guess. The garage become the band practice space, and the basement becomes the guest room and recreational space after the laundry has been moved up to the kitchen area.<br /><br />Of course, all of these trends were well under way in 1972.<br /><br />One of the reasons space is not at the premium that he thought it would be (at least in America; in other countries, it does tend to be tighter) is because of the widespread conversion of farmland to development, and the ensuing white flight diaspora.<br /><br />He seems to be a keeper, though!zombie rotten mcdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601960953323752278noreply@blogger.com
