I don't think small SFH starter houses are financially viable in most urban areas. Stacked flats, duplexes, townhouses etc. maybe.

Lived in a 1000 sq ft 3/1 until my kids were middle school aged. (This is the recent past, not the 70s). It was the average size house when it was built in 1949.

No, it's only a charge if you do a one-time payment on PG&E's website. If you used Bill Pay through your bank (a 'push' not a 'pull' payment) there's no charge.
You either set up autopay on PG&E's website or you pay through your bank's bill pay for free.
