I'm for limiting the tax deduction for children to two as one incentive to keep families small and start on a program for "humane" reduction of the spread of a deadly virus called humanity on the planet. Bigger houses as well as bigger vehicles became popular over the last few as that was a way to separate the populace and their money. Maya was spun by the marketers to make this possible. And of course our "Mensa candidate" mass population like to spit out children like rabbits.
I'm with new on this one. I bought a four bedroom house 8 years ago. Didn't really need 4 bedrooms as I am a bachelor but work out of the house. It was just that anything smaller at the time that was in good shape and decently priced was snatched up almost before it went on the market. This house went back on the market after the buyers backed out (west face door I guess as they were Indian). Two hours later it was mine. Why didn't others snap it up? It is a 60's style 4 bedroom, IOW small. It's like a large apartment with a galley for a kitchen. And that didn't suit buyers at the time or at least the ones that saw it in the first couple hours.
