In Marxian's theory of labour power which is the capacity of ability of human beings to engage in work and be able to have a fair income will determine the type and size of a house they will be able to purchase. In London people are more realistic and do not try to impress people with the size or houses they have and are more concerned about being able to have more room for people to live. If somebody from Canada was to move to London they would have to get used to the smaller space in the houses in London. Throughout the world there are many different things to get used to and sizes of houses is definatly one.
