For a more sustainable future, we need to embrace living in smaller spaces. This means not letting our houses be our primary space for every activity in our lives
Smaller, well insulated, medium density housing. Alas nothing like the current dystopian sprawl of Australian cities.
I don’t understand where these “big houses” are. They’re certainly not in WA, where all the new houses I’ve seen are teeny tiny 2x1’s or 2x2’s with all the homeliness of a tattered paper bag.
Are apartments being considered in these stats? They should be - but then the line would be “homes getting smaller”.
The stats only include freestanding houses, not flats, semis or terraces.
In fact home sizes are getting smaller, not larger.
