Now, I have both.

This is why I am upset with consumers for not essentially boycotting these overpriced condos with cubbyhole kitchens. These kinds of floor plans and small kitchens would not sell in most major American cities.
I don't know why people fall for the hype of "European kitchens" Glorified kitchenettes. They would be okay if we were wealthy and lived in Paris, Tokyo, or Hong Kong but theres no need to compress space like this in Toronto . It's a combination of increasing condo developer greed and people buying into (and leveraging themselves to the eyeballs) the Toronto Real Estate Board promoted hype of homeownership as the best investment ever with the least downside.
Surely not everyone is happy blowing $1500 a month on Uber Eats? Maybe Im ignorant or out of touch as I make all my meals at home , including homemade pizza and crepes (Im by no means bragging about being a good cook but it's good enough for me)
Condos built before 2007 seemed to have more reasonable sized kitchens on average. Id rather have a large eat in or L shape kitchen than a one-wall cubbyhole with tiny 1 foot deep counters and Miele European appliances (It's a great quality brand but not necessary for me or most consumers)
