Having clutter in your house is perfectly normal.
If you are a human being, you're going to accumulate "stuff".
But when it begins to pile up it becomes a problem.
For instance, if you can't quickly access an exit door or window
during a fire, it could cost your life (or the life of a loved one).
When seconds count and you need to find medication (for asthma or
heart problems), clutter could delay you just long enough to lead to
deadly consequences.
If the babysitter needs to find emergency phone numbers right away,
but is met with a mound of disorganized papers...
It's Easier To Protect Your Family - And Overcome Your "Messy Habit"

Darn right, clutter IS dangerous. Here in Las Vegas, an old Navy retiree
let his son and grandson live in his house when he went off to live in a
retirement area. Unknown to Grandpa, son and grandson were packrats and
scrounged the neighborhood, bringing in tons of worthless things that people
would throw away. Soon the neighbors went to the county and complained.
Grandpa was notified, and went to investigate. He saw what was happening,
called a hauler to come in and haul away the mess for $4k, and legally
evicted son and grandson. They caught up with the old man and shot him.
They were worse shots than antique collectors, merely giving the old guy a
flesh wound. The old man said, "Hell, I was shot worse than that in the
Navy, and pulled up his shirt to show a huge scar." Last I heard, son and
grandson were still in jail.
