Many of us see a new pattern. As housing space (the one thing soaring most rapidly in cost) shrinks, people must start asking themselves not only whether they want something and can afford it, but also whether they want to keep it. Things that might seem precious can multiply and become clutter because people end up buying related stuff.
It is tempting to buy stuff because it is inexpensive and seems a bargain... but blank space at least gives the illusion of room. Clutter is in bad taste no matter how expensive it is as a purchase.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
