Yes, and no. The issue isn't so much the size of modern homes but the cheaply built, mass-produced, poorly designed nature of the McMansion. There are plenty of 100-150+ year old homes around me and many of them are actually quite large. Especially some of the older farmhouses where the good soil is. Home size was always driven by affluence. The problem is that modern home construction is only an ersatz-affluence.
