but that new technologies make it both possible and palatable, and even desirable. After a period of exploding sizes of houses, far less to create larger active living spaces for families to gather in than to create more storage for bloated accumulations, I think support for simplification while retaining all the comforts will be pretty easy to get. We have to clean, heat and cool, and maintain those houses at real, constant effort and expense, after all, while typical living rooms are no bigger than many that people moved "up" from. Same for kitchens, though many may not realize it because of layout changes.
