I don’t mind studio apartment life - I just don’t like billionaires telling us we have to live in them and THEY can live in their palatial mansions.
There are lot of Soviet apartment blocks like that - all the same with no real privacy.
You have to understand that this is Manhattan. The lifestyle is completely different than any place else in America. Apartments are for sleeping and cleaning up. The rest of life is lived outside of the home, in the city. If I could ever talk my wife into it, I would love to live there.
