Inspired by the thread on the pluses of being plus-sized:

1. No problem getting anyone to bring their laundry to the wash machine, it's all on the same floor and it's just a few steps.

2. You can clear the table and put dishes in the sink without getting up from your seat.

3. You can reach everything you need for cooking just by turning from side to side.

4. Mopping the kitchen and bathroom floors doesn't take very long. Neither does bedikat chametz.

5. You never have to clean out your basement, attic, garage, porch, or shed because you don't have a basement, attic, garage, porch or shed.

On the flip side: It's hard to get in your 5-10,000 steps a day unless you go outside.

Anyone else?

While abhor yelling across the house, in the few situations where it's warranted, I know my message reached the intended recipient.

When you lose something, there's hardly anywhere to look for it.

It feels kinda cozy
And I don't need any intercomrvor baby monitor devices
Never have to run to answer the door, it's always only 6 steps away.

You can wash up the kitchen floor with one wet paper towel.

You don't have to stay upstairs when your kids are in the bath. Leave the bathroom door open and call their name every few minutes

I need my space.. but someone I know believes it's healthier for children to grow up "bumping into each other" vs cold and distant in a big house.

I guess that kitchen is the size of 1 square foot. Or half if you're using the select a size.

Dorm living is no shock, the kids are already used to living in tight quarters.

cheaper heating in the winter - all I need to do is cook supper and the whole apartment is hot
