And as I've stated here before, it's all about having space outside. I'm in southern California, so you can spend a lot of time outdoors if the walls start closing in on me. In colder climates you have to stay inside. How do the Japanese do it? An average home/flat there is around 600 sq. ft. for a family of 4. I feel your pain, as they say.

They live in spacious big houses with large gardens thanks. Constant immigration and birth rates excacerbate the problem. So the cause is overpopulation, immigration, corrupt politicians and developers. If people cant be bothered changing the political system then they should stop having kids as there isnt the space. Even one kid is too many in the average 3 bedroom house as the bedrooms are needed for storage and wardrobe space and these houses are really not even big enough for a single to live in comfortably. from: sia2100.blogspot.com This problem is worldwide wherever there are developers maximizing profit by bribing politicians and local government officials to relax regulations and get dog boxes built as a sad excuse for housing the people-not them obviously.

It's all about organizing and throwing away things you don't need. Think buddhist, or maybe acetic? One bowl, one spoon, sleep on the floor. Hey, I already do all those things! Now I just need to find my house. My issue is having to live too close to the neighbors and all the noise they generate: dogs barking, loud voices and music. If the interior space is small, then you really feel like you're trapped in a cage. The house needs to be on at least a half acre to avoid this trapped feeling.

When buying a house,make sure that your needs are satisfied even if the price is good enough or small but also provides small quantity of choirs you can do with the property. It is advisable to think carefully and know all the things that the house can offer you.

You can sleep in a tiny space; socialize in a tiny space because you just sit there, but cooking is another story as you've found out. I'm living in a reduced square footage house, so I know your dilemma. I've found that I have to get the dinner going and planned out before I've had too much Shiraz; otherwise things get really messed up. Put the plates out and do all the major stuff before you start socializing. It can be done. You knew what you were getting into when you bought the tiny house.
