Soviet-style high rises?

It’s a great idea. For single people, the smaller the better in most cases. If I could be sure of adequate noise protection, I’d love to move into one myself. Well, not in SF (I DO have standards). :)
If a jail cell is big enough for two prisoners it’s good enough for 2 people in san fran. 220 feet is to big.
BTW Our local Ikea has a 200 some foot floor plan setup at the MOA store. I suspect others do as well. If the doors and windows are closed I’ll bet I could pass gas and blow a window out.
No thanks!
A tiny apartment, smaller than a “studio” with kitchenette, bath, walk in closet etc is called an efficiency, and can actually be nice for a single person on a budget. Besides, no one is forcing anyone to sign a lease, and if they want they can go over to Stockton and rent a whole house for probably less.
Might as well live in a Winnebago or camping trailer.
I’m single and live in a 2,500 sf home. I have RV parking and a driveway that will hold 5-6 cars. My daughter, hubby and grandkids have moved back in with me.
I’m thinking about getting a large 5th and moving into it with the kids in the big house. You can bet this thing won’t cost $1,700 per month. Hell, I don’t pay anywhere near that for my home.
My initial thought was this wasn’t a bad idea. Heck, my first apartment probably wasn’t 300 sq. ft. It might get some kids out of there parents home.
But $1200-$1700??? That’s just crazy. It’s not as bad as New York, but close.
$1700 a month for what amounts to something the size of a camper!!?? Somebody is set to make a killing on that!

Hey, this will bring back fond memories for those liberal NY Jews of the tenements.

I’m not opposed to Single Occupancy Dwellings in crowded spaces but wow.
I have been saying it for years
Huh? Since when is it a city's business to decide how large an apartment should be? That should be determined by the free market.
Next thing you know, cities will be regulating soft drink sizes.
Oh, wait...they're already doing that.
I don’t have a problem with this if somebody wants to live there. The problem is ten years from now it will be mandated. Any body that wants to live bigger will be taxed appropriately. The overlords know what is best.
When I was young these types of apartments were called “Batchelor Apartments”. I lived in several of them before, and after my military service, and before I got married. They were adequate, and they were cheap rent. Just needed a place to sleep in those days.
Lots of cities made the old single-room occupancy boarding houses illegal when they had become filled with lowlifes.
This is really just a way to bring back a sensible solution slightly upgraded for our times.
