Single-family home?
That's some propaganda spin isnt it
Single-person home.
I lived in a 1br apartment that was probably 500sqft, smaller than this guy's. It's not even big enough for a cat.
"Single-family home" is a direct quote from the article.
I understand single bedroom home, but they're framing it as a family home
So it's propaganda the government made up.
I think the idea of building a stand alone building of 200sqft had just never been considered.
Which tells me it wasn't well thought out tbh
It's opposed to multiple family duplex or apartments
It's a shed.
"Single familiy" is standard real estate and legal terminology. It means "a structure intended to be occupied by one family". As opposed to "multi-family", which means a structure designed for 2 or more families, like a duplex or an apartment building. The word "family" does not imply a specific number of people or bedrooms. A married couple with no children is still a family. Heck, for reasons of occupancy, one person is a family.
While I totally agree that there’s no way a family is living in a tiny one bedroom home and the term is deceptive, “single family home” is the zoning term.
