So we have guardian angel, “death”, and “joyful laughter” associated with 444, that all fits.

444

Out of curiosity I looked up “444” and there’s a bunch of links saying it means a guardian angel. Appropriate?

Reading comments, it’s really something that people think >=1800 sq. ft is small! Probably because they haven’t really built houses smaller than that for at least the last 30 years, with very few exceptions. I currently live in a post-WWII 2BR, 840 sq ft house, which to me feels plenty big enough for a single or couple, but back when it was built, <1000 sq ft. was the size most people raised their families in . When I was a kid more like 3BR 1200 sq. ft. houses were the typical size.

I wish they’d build more smaller houses like this instead of only large >2500 sq.ft. or McMansions. More houses would fit in the same area and they’d be more affordable, to buy, take care of, and pay property tax on. Even before housing soared to total unaffordabilty, all newer houses were huge and out of reach for normal people. It feels like every aspect of our society from housing, transportation, clothing, any kind of shopping, everything! just gets more and more impractical and ridiculous. Who is making these crazy decisions? Not regular people. I know it’s stereotypical that when you get older you think things are getting worse, but they are getting worse, dammit!
