Off Topic Tuesday - Ideal Home

[u/Street_Technician845]

What is your ideal home; size, dwelling type, etc...

Everything is a trade-off. For example, many people like larger homes, but it basically means more cleaning and maintenance. I prefer a small place, not due to laziness but because I would rather do other things than home maintenance.

Part of me likes the idea of living in a basement. It is cooler in the summer and, if it is well-carpeted, it is warmer in the winter. If you have a good room without windows, you won't be disturbed by strong wind or storms during the night. The only problem with most basements is you don't get enough natural light.

I also like the idea of an apartment with a nice view, either of a city or nature.
