    I quite like the way How I Met Your Mother handles this - the size of the apartments is the narrator misremembering. There’s an episode where the characters have been viewing a house in New Jersey - they return to the apartment and it’s portrayed as the size it realistically would be.

      That would just be a dig on their intelligence. You can’t see the massive problem of not being able to afford housing? How can I relate to this character?
