Abstract
About four years ago, my husband and I donated more than two-thirds of our worldly possessions to Goodwill and moved a couple of teenagers, one senior bichon, and our adventure-craving selves into a three-bedroom, one bath, 600-square-foot city apartment, complete with a three-flight walk up, no elevator required. We traded privacy for claustrophobic togetherness, mirrored vanities for color-coded shower caddies and an element-proof garage for two very weather susceptible parking spots identified by faded yellow lines. We also gained eighty or so very noisy housemates, for we had moved into a high school boys' dormitory.
