Realtors started this whole downsizing thing years ago. An acre is 43,560 sqft but realtors thought it would be "better" to just say that it is 40,000 sqft. You know, so it sounds like you are getting almost 10% more property for your money......

Actually, I’m sorry, the downsizing started decades ago when a 2″x4″ piece of wood became 1-1/2″X3-1/2″……..
