habitable and inhabitable mean the same? What a country!

Mark: you’re getting it mixed up with “uninhabitable”. Chris B has it right. Props to you, Chris B.

I thought habitable and inhabitable are the same = “fit for habitation”.

Not that these things really matter.

“The kura space allows an additional room because the low ceiling height of 1.4 meters is technically not considered inhabitable.”

Double negative. “not considered inhabitable” = considered habitable.
