>> At only 9.3 square feet (8 square meters) Uh... what??? My shower is bigger than 9.3 sq ft. And 8 m^2 is not close to 9.3 ft^2 A “technical” article that gets it THIS wrong blows its credibility bigly.

Should read: "At only 9.3 feet square (8 square meters)."

8 square meters is roughly equivalent to a square, 9.3 feet by 9.3 feet.

Tradesmen will sometimes describe areas in this fashion.

My son’s first apartment was bigger than this. It was four rooms: kitchen, LV, Bd Rm, Bath. The largest room was 12 x 12. Maybe 350 sq feet total. It was in a 100 year old house. It had off street parking.

The reason he loved it was he was about 1000 feet to the Atlantic Ocean in Rye, NH.
A tear down in the neighborhood was $1M+ for a fixer upper. With several houses exceeding $4M on the beach.

The house he lived in was divided up into 6 apts. It was the eyesore of the neighborhood. The owner had inherited it from his father. Who had inherited it form his father. Who bought it in 1920. He was a lazy piece of crap who was too cheap to paint his house. All his neighbors were pissed about his lack of maintenance on the house.
