Is it a single "family" home? Japan has tons of studio apartments of 200sqft or less. They're about the size of a college dorm room but usually have a bathroom/shower, kitchen sink, and a single burner stove.

To an American they're small. To a Japanese person who's used to them, they're normal. They're not "family" homes though. They're "single person" apartments.

Here's one

Maybe not everyone needs 800sqft+ per person?

A single family home is a detached building that isn't broken up into multiple isolated units like a duplex or apartment complex. They're not complaining about small dwellings, only a tremendously inefficient mode of housing people in small dwellings.
