For years, the most common recurring dream I've had is of discovering (suddenly remembering?) an extra room in our home, often undecorated or full of boxes never unpacked. Such excitement—wow, what'll we do with this space?! Not sure if complex metaphor or jab at SF real estate.

Relatedly, another silly SF real estate observation: almost everything in my house costs less than the square footage it sits on? I'll think "oh, wow, a piano would be expensive"… but, like, actually buying the space to put it costs much more!!

Nevertheless very excited to be cramming this into our tiny SF home today. (Now alas leaving town for several weeks, will have to wait to play…)

This is what pushed me to ebooks, and to finally jettison all the old paperbacks I wasn't that attached to.

Amen. Everything has two costs: how much it is to buy, and how much you have to pay for the space it takes up.
Leaves me dreaming of maybe, possibly, one day having a three car garage (three!!) to have enough space for a gym area, ping pong table, and modest workshop. One day.

Big dreams for SF! Boy, a ping pong table must be a pretty amusing point on that chart.

still figuring out how
hypothesis: this is why laptops designed in places with cheaper housing are also larger and/or cheaper.
