I've lived in dorm rooms smaller than this, and apartments not a whole lot bigger.
I did fine, but I'm glad that I can afford better, now. :-)

Micro-apartment, furnished, all bills paid. First 1200 months rent free! No pets. Must be willing to share space with roommate(s).

She said she keeps fit walking up and down stairs theres no elevator in the building. She'll probably fall off the ladder while making the bed and break half the bones in her body. Then let's see her talk about six flights of stairs.

I was just thinking that Judy looked like some old Seattle lib.
Lo and behold, I was right.

If someone wants a small living space, that's great, as long as it's not mandated by our communist overlords.
Personally, if I'm living in a space that small, it had better be on a boat.

I am not against them. I am against high density apartments without parking. Many places in Chicago they fight over who gets to park in the cab stand or hydrant spot!
A company that I worked with for many years was required to add an elevator to the second floor. The first floor was A D A compliant, any work could be could be done on the lower level. Nothing special on the second floor.
Forced to install a never used elevator.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper to buy a small camper and rent a parking space?

This type of living is promoted by Agenda 21. It’s their goal to have everyone living is small, dense spaces, no parking provided, so you can walk everywhere.....thus saving the planet.

Agenda 21. Its their goal to have everyone living is small, dense spaces, no parking provided, so you can walk everywhere. I disagree with the last part ... It's not so you can walk everywhere ... it's so you can't drive anywhere. Travel, after all, is only for the Party Members.

I have such a building, only a bit bigger. I call it, "my shed". Good for storing garden tools and such.How much do you charge the tools to stay there? ;^)

This really isn’t a bad way to live if you’re single, married to your “career,” dine out most meals, and prefer to spend your money for things like eating out, entertainment, and travel.
Personally, I’d need at least 400 square feet or I’d feel a bit claustrophobic, but I could live like this...if I were single and had no kids! :)
To: grobdriver
I frankly don't give a rat's a$$ if these people want to live in a closet... right up to the point where they insist I do, too, to "save the planet" or somesuch BS. Bingo
