In retirement with kids gone, I can easily see myself live permanently on 800-1000 sf. house.
Small house or single wide mobile home - no problem, as long as there is shop / garage space and a decent size lot. But not tiny. Tiny is my truck camper that I can 4x4 anywhere.

I am all for downsizing and having less crap, but going to 200 sf for daily living is just plain stupid. It does not take that much more money or energy to keep a decent living space.

I do NOT know what I'd do with 3500 sf.
