4x7 is less than the area of one sheet of plywood. It wouldn't even come close to meeting the legal requirements here for a sleeping room for one person, let alone two. (I forget the minimum right now, but it's at least twice that, for one person, with additional space added per additional person.)
I'm not especially concerned, the police around here have far more to worry about than too few square feet per person. But yes, it's likely we're below the minimum. Since my house burned down and my husband lost his job, we haven't had the option to move somewhere better. We're all healthy and here, so I'm not griping that my two boys share a room that's about 6x8. Helps that they don't care, either
