Worth Overdoing
The 2006 New American Home 10,023 square feet. The 2005 New American Home 5,950 square feet. The 2004 New American Home 5,172 square feet.
So does that mean 2 for 1 sale at Pardee? They would still make a profit, because particle board is cheap. Makes a horrible stink, but burns really well. So I guess it's good for something.
Alright, enough fun. Back to work. Average home size is still growing by about 28 sq ft per year. Doesn't sound like much but since 1950? Yep, more than doubled in half a century. Mother Jones has a great archived article I recommend: http://www.metrotimes.com/25/39/thisnewhouse.pdf
Me? I'm cramped and building an office in the back yard.
