What could possibly go wrong?
We’re getting more like North Korea every day.
Perhaps the rent could be 100% government subsidized. They could call them “Stay Free Mini Pads”.
I would have looked at one of these micro apartments as a luxury when I was in the USAF, and we had it good compared to the other services.
We had two to three guys to a room less than half that size, with beds and a sink. Sometimes a bathroom shared by two units, sometimes communal down the hall.
Then there are the Army and Marines, often in open bay barracks.
And the Navy guys, "hot bedding" in submarines with just a bunk and inches from the next guy or a torpedo, etc.
These mini apartments make perfect sense for folks just starting out.
