Mini/Micro Homes: 21st Century Sustainable Home Ownership Options

We’ve seen a steady drop in family size since WWII, yet according tohe Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., the average Canadian house size has increased from 800 square feet in 1945 to well over 2,200 today. And somehow or another, Canadians are also supporting an $8 billion a year self-storage industry to store the toys and knick-knacks that won’t fit in their growing houses. ~Ashley Lubyk

  1. Houses have grown in size because children are expensive dependents. Fewer children means more money and resources can go to those few.

    In our mature democracies we all all dependents so a smaller population would lead to more wealth for each of us. The smallest countries in the world have the highest per capita GDP. The largest populations tend toward massive poverty.
