An apartment the size of two parking spaces or half a subway car? - overpriced to begin with at $2000 a month rent in one of the most expensive cities to live in America? That's what New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg wants - to force young New Yorkers to live in a tiny, cramped apartment.

ApartmentCare from liberals! Think about the irony of this proposal for "micro apartment" in New York City while Hiz Honnah lives in a palatial mansion four times their size! If this isn't Marxism, its hard to imagine what it would be.

Central planning by city bureaucrats at its finest.

Now we know why he wanted to downsize fountain drinks. The apartments aren’t big enough for anything above a 16 ouncer.

Mayor Meathead did not say anything about “forcing” anyone into anything.

And there probably would be a demand for such housing.

Pads just for screwing.

Overnight stays by rich owners.

Places to store dope.

I lived in a studio apt in Chicago as a young man. Took the Murphy bed off the wall and had it on the living room floor. Probably not much bigger than 300 sq ft. Did have a galley kitchen though.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5) – San Francisco’s smallest apartments could soon get even smaller. In a proposal before the Board of Supervisors, a developer’s group is proposing the city change its building code to make the smallest living space in an efficiency apartment 150 square feet, down from the current 220 square feet.

Perhaps Occupy movement should claim the 300 sq ft micro-apartment is a human right. Then get UN involved......

Hey Bloomingidiot-—put your money where YOUR mouth is. Invest in this yourself—and show us how lucrative it is-—

You won’t, will you...because you know it’s BS.

I remember an article from the boston glove which said these singles apparments were for the alternative lifestyle set since they had no children and were only interested in random sex hookups.

Seems to be about the size of a Microtel “suite”. Stayed in one of those in Carolina for about $60/night with tax. Same rate as the NY apts.
