jamesqf seems to try and bring up this "living space" issue a lot.

I know I'd much rather have my cramped apartment than be in the countryside with few conveniences and having to make a living by working the land or something like that. I spend most of my time in my chair/desk or bed anyways, and that's a total of maybe 50 square feet. Small is cozy, and a crowded urban environment brings convenience, efficiency, and excitement to life. Space is not needed for health, unlike what jamesqf said at some point, and I would argue that it isn't nearly as relevant as any other commonly considered factors when it comes to standard of living. It is a luxury.
