It must be some phallic symbolism.This creates two problems that I see. First, either people are going to build 5 small houses and perpetuate the urban sprawl that is Naboo and Cor.... OR people with one large house can only own 250 items plus inventory. This means they're less likely to spend their money on all the stuff architects create, because they cant waste the items space on something that isn't going to make them money some how.
Maintenance cost is for uhm (p e n i s) size, or the equivalent for women
Oh no! That's for house size. Sorry.But yes. It makes perfect sense. It's 75 items per lot, with 250 max (and yes, a hospital is 225 items at 3 lots). There are several reasons why people want large houses. Mine is that it's on someone else's lots, so I don't actually 'pay' the 6 lots, and it has the storage limit of 250, which means I can keep almost all the different stuff I need in one place, and don't have to run from house to house to grab what I need.
The other has been mentioned before, and that's if you want to make a showhouse, or a display, you're going to *need* those 250 items, and would actually beg for more if that were possible.
So does it make sense? In a way. Is it very SOE? Yes. Are there reasonings behind it? Well. Prestige, bragging rights and showing off have something to do with it as well.
Mad.

Gah sorry about the double post i really need to think before i click hehe as a crafter with a few accts here i use several buildings the planet im located on you cant use a small naboo style 2 house so a small house 2 lot type = 150 items a med house 2 lot space also =150 items so i use all mediums for my storage since they have more floor space the maintance difference on these isnt even noticable really IMOlike pawlin said i like to live inat least onei can decorate so i chose the tat style guild hall which is only 7 lots and capped at 250 which i wish they would raise thats my cred on the subject

There are two things you can do when you have a corellian style home and want to run a shop in it:
1: cry
2: get a PA-Hall

I agree small houses are the way to go, makimizing storage space to the ammount of lots used... but then again I have a large house placed, why??? Well becuase a small or even a medium house does not give me the display room to put all my cool stuff up and not look cluttered. My main charcter Saphi has a Medium house, again for the same reason, but don't need as much display space. Not to mention a medium house looks much cooler on the inside than a small house (expecially the tatooine version), and for 500 credits more a day it's worth it... even a new player can make that

I mostly use small generic and medium generic for storage... I have one large naboo house that i have decorated to it's max storage capacity just for showcase. But ya, 5 smalls is best bang for the buck on storage (actually, medical centers are the best... 225 storage for 3 lots, but do take up more real estate and aren't as easy to enter / exit in a hurry when running back and forth to factories).
