What’s funny is that in many cities the officials went after evil landlords by passing regulations requiring a minimum square footage for apartments. Just as with minimum wage, a tiny apartment isn’t supposed to house a family of 8. It’s supposed to give cheap housing for the young single. My first apartment was a one room apt with a kitchenette & bathroom. It was cheap & near where I worked. It allowed me to save money & prepare myself for when I was ready to buy my first house. This kind of housing is perfect for near campuses where there are lots of young singles looking for a cheap living space.
Yeah, as long as it is, in fact, cheap.

My home office is 24’ x 24’ = 576 Square Feet or 21 square meters.
The space could easily be enough for me to live comfortably if arranged and furnished properly. The sterile depiction absent the necessary junk for living is off putting.
