        If I had to superimpose my feelings on top of this, I’d increase dwelling area to 80 sqm and laptops/computers to 2 per household. 🥲

          Even 80 sqm is cramped for the 4 people they suggest.

          If they could double the floorspace, water heating, and computing, i honestly would maintain my current standard of living. Well, except presumably with meat cut out of my diet which isn’t really a loss, I’d just have to replan my diet.
