Our son was born in a 230sqft studio. We moved to a 75sqmtr, 760sqft, 3BR apartment. This is in Paris where anything over 500sqft is considered luxurious. Somehow with kids, visitors, and our stuff we managed to make it work. I honestly believe most Americans are latent hoarders. Just buy whatever's on sale with no thought on where it fits into our lifestyle.
BTW, everything else I agree with. Childcare is criminally expensive here.
