I get what you're saying, but there's more to that.
First, bigger houses are usually in "nicer" neighbourhoods. So if you want to be in a nice spot, you will have to buy a big house.
Then there's the fact that some people just like having nice things. Not necessarily to impress the Jones' either. They just like nice things, nice house in a nice spot, nice furniture, car etc. Not all "those" people are just trying to impress friends.
And lastly, a 2000sqft house in Cranston is hardly big. Actually, it's comparable to a 1500sqft house built 10 years ago. The extra sqft comes from the bonus room which is a ripoff as the house's curb appeal is similar to an infill. And so is the lot and the basement.
