My point is your past suffering isn't proof of anything. And what society considers enough shouldn't be based on foolish nostalgia.
I ask again, were the child labor laws that protected you wasteful. Because having children work instead of going to school certainly "worked" before.
My point is that 900 sq ft for a family isn't unusual. Then or now. It's an unrealistic and unsustainable vision that every child in every family gets their own bedroom.
