I'm sure sooner or later we'll get commentary from people who live in 20'x30' apartments (and lucky they have 'em), telling us: "I sure wish I had a big library... but the space I'm standing in is it... my entire home. Thank God there are ebooks, so I can read more than the nine books I actually have room for... ten, if you count the copy of
Brave New World that's propping up the short leg of my wardrobe."
Of course, once they get serious airtime, they'll make enough money to move out of the 20'x30', and get a house of their own...
