yes the chart is monthly rent, and the prices I gave are prices to buy indeed. We don't rent our apartment, so I'm more aware of sale prices for that category.

Btw when I say central Paris, I'm talking about the area within the perimeter of the ring road we call périphérique, so less than a 5-6km (3-3.5mi) distance from Notre Dame

How people identify politically:

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- On average, Americans' political party preferences in 2021 looked similar to prior years, with slightly more U.S. adults identifying as Democrats or leaning Democratic (46%) than identified as Republicans or leaned Republican (43%).

Uhh, you know you literally started this comment thread by saying the living area wasn't enough, and then justifying it by comparing your own situation right? And my (and others) responses were just pointing out that your situation wasn't normal, yeah?

So how about next time you apply a little of your own logic to yourself before posting, and maybe reconsider whether your contribution will add anything worthwhile to the conversation?

Your lifestyle is different because your situation is different. I’ve been basically indoors since November. Tomorrow it’s getting down to -27 and -36 with the windchill. What’s the point of outdoor space if it is unusable because it’s -50 with the wind and there is 6ft snow drifts everywhere?

I don't understand the appeal of having so much indoor space. It's just extra cost to build, extra cost to run (heating & cooling), more space to clean and it cuts down your outside space, especially if you're in a city.

My current place is 93m2 and that's plenty for the two of us. Honestly I don't understand why anyone would need anymore than 50m2 per person.
