This is about what my bedroom/office is, area-wise. I could cope with this full-time.

This was about the size of our last rental place. Now we have our own place which is about 1300 square feet and fairly comfortable to live in. I wouldn't consider moving back to a smaller house now.
Voted : about 500 sq. ft.
By myself, my limit is 400sq ft. I'm okay with a small house as long as I have a large yard and it cannot, absolutely cannot be in a city or heavily populated area. Wow, you live on a bus? I've never heard of that before. How is that going for you?
I know a few people with 8000 sq ft houses or larger and I've never heard any one of them complain about the heating gas bills. I think if you're going to buy a house that large, you should be able to afford the $1000/month heating bill. And trust me, the bill in my area atleast, is about $1000 a month for a newer house that's about 8,000sq feet. Especially like you said these new houses that are poorly insulated. I've lived in a house that was made entirely of cinder blocks that was about 4,200sq foot in size and during the winter it was easy to keep it warm. If you're going to buy big, personal tip, buy it old and made of brick. You're much better off getting an older house that's made of brick, renovating it and spending a little more, than buying these new houses with poor construction.
