There’s a vibrant “tiny house” movement in the US, adherents reveling in the life of occupying a sparse-yet-elegant 100 sq ft or so. That’s the floorspace of a standard office cubicle.
If that’s how you want to live, go for it.
The Left needs to get out of their way, not making “minimum dwelling space” requirements (enforced thru what is ultimately a death threat) imposed on those content with sacrificing space & cost for location, location, and location.
The Right needs to remember that individual rights include living in a ridiculously expensive (per square foot) space that is ridiculously small (for some standards) amid a ridiculously high population density.
It’s a free market solution: people want nice spaces in premium locations, can’t afford a normal space, so someone refits a building stuffed full of micro-apartments ... and it sells out. Win!
An absolute win. When are leftists (who are generally the pro-regulators) going to see that THEY are the ones interfering with people’s lives, & unnecessarily so.
