I was watching an old episode of Sanford and Son, and it occurred to me that the set for his apartment/house is the same set (with different interior design) as the apartment on the TV show One Day at a Time (the old one, not the new one). I haven't consulted with the YouTube oracles to see if this is true, but the two sets sure look the same to me. Opinions?

you made an observation so what is your theory?

It's possible. Studios in those days used many of the same set's for different programs due to budget constraints and lack of the special effects tools they have access to today. If they were the same, it would have been nice if the producers had spent a bit more effort making them look different.

It's not unusual for Hollywood to reuse sets and props, for budget reasons.
