It was actually quite livable when properly organized. Here, we have been trained to expect individual bedrooms and close to 1000 sqft per person.
Training via standard of living, perhaps. As our standard of living declines, living spaces are now getting smaller.
Trained by the proliferation of suburbs and SFH-oriented land use policies, more likely.
At least for me, having a good life doesn't require a huge amount of space per person. Of course, each person's views are different.
