This is true, I was criticising the weird tone of the article for implying it was some great burden to only have one or two large dedicated living spaces and 100sqft bedrooms rather than three and 200. It would be a whole lot less unnatainable if 2 bedroom/1 shower, 800sqft units in a multiplex or 5-over-one were the default rather than half the size of what this article is trying to present as some bizarre abberation.
I will say, as someone in a house with just one shower, when you have a teenage daughter, things can get accidentally awkward. I wouldn’t complain if we had a second. But overall I’m fine with smaller houses. We rented a two story house when we first moved to this town and we had a room we literally had nothing to put in. We just left it empty. No one needs a big house unless they have a big family.

Privacy locks exist and plenty of people manage.
I mean ensuites are nice, but they are a luxury. Especially for a first home of a single person or a new couple.
You clearly don’t have a teenager if you think they always remember to do things like lock the bathroom door.
I live in a multi family dwelling with 6 people including 3 teenagers with one bathroom and there’s never been an issue.
Well then you obviously have superior teenagers to mine. How lucky for you.
Why you’re suggesting that my awkward situations haven’t been awkward I don’t know. Maybe you know me better than I do?
