I am always vaguely amused by people who do urban planning based on the assumption that families don't exist. Yes everyone lives in an episode of friends.
The worst offender ever was the Mars One project. I am not sure who the idiots were behind that effort, but they were spectacular idiots. Their plan was to send a bunch of people to Mars to live in tiny tin cans and eat algae. I think it was all just a communist LARP. They thought they could have the miserable utopia on Mars. They even disallowed married couples from volunteering. If one spouse got a accepted the other would have to stay on earth. Something about not wanting the drama of a stable relationship.
Uh huh. They just hated families. We already know what happens when you avoid drama by only having singles from south pole expeditions and simulated Mars missions. People get stabbed. But hey at least there are no families.
Just to be clear, when humans do go to Mars it is going to be even more disappointing than 2000HP electric cars. We are going to build 5000 sq ft homes for people and have whole domes full of cows, pigs, and chickens because big families are going to want take-out bacon burgers to eat in the park after Church at the Cathedral on a Sunday Morning.
