    Same reason my wife wants at least 80m² of living space despite spending her time sitting on the corner of one chair looking at her phone : it feels nice to know you have it.

      80m² = 860ft² for those of us in countries who perpetuate inferior measurement systems.

      860ft² is extremely small compared to the average American home of 2,480ft².

        Oh yeah, for reference it’s a moderately sized flat for a family of four in a French city.
        My dad has more of a country house with the huge park and trees and small lake… and still she only really needs her phone and a chair. Go figure.
