I’ve been thinking about the intangible damage done by bigger homes. They can erode community within the household by drawing people to separate rooms. At the extreme end, when people have private pools and movie theatres, they can completely obliterate social connections, because residents have no reason to go out and use public services.
And then I think of the book with the thesis that democracy relies on unplanned encounters and common experiences. Mansions vs democracy.
Plus, they are hard to clean.
