just a passer-by, when i was small, I lived in 唐樓, the place was definitely bigger. Then, I spent my teenage years in Canada, of course, the place i lived was bigger.
Then, came back to HK and got married, bought (摸頂)lived in a 600 sq.ft apartment. And I like to buy clothes, shoes and bags, although just 2 of us, it was very crowded. (I couldn't hire part time to do the house work simply too ccrowded) Now, we rent a place about 950sq.ft. I've found that this is very nice to have spacious home and our own washrooms. I like that. I can have one room for all the clothings and stuffs. then, the bedrooms are really for sleeping. And I've found that it's easier for me to keep the place tidy. I wish next time, we can afford to purchase a place at least that size. BTW, there are still just 2 of us.
