In this brief commentary, the speaker questions the prevailing expectation that every bedroom must have its own bathroom, asking why modern buyers can’t share bathrooms as was common in the past. He cites the historical example of 2‑bedroom, 1‑bath “mill houses” in Cabarrus County, where families lived comfortably with shared facilities. The speaker suggests that current first‑time homebuyer expectations have shifted toward requiring a private bathroom for each bedroom, and calls for a broader conversation about whether this trend is necessary or simply a change in perspective.
