"Mr. Saft said living comfortably in the tiny, $2,000-a-month apartment requires creativity: He stores books in the fireplace, the bike in the bathtub and has a vertical shoe rack on his door."
$2000 bucks a month for 300 sqft?!...the space isn't that bad since i've lived in a similar sized studio, but for 2k a month?...that's stupid...
the comments are more interesting than the article itself since so many people are shocked at being able to live in such a small space...however, in many major cities, especially in asia, 300 sqft is pretty spacious...my grandma, aunt, and cousin used to live in an apartment that was less than 200sqft...no real kitchen but a stove top range by the front door and a sink...it had an outdoor toilet...no shower...had to use a hose and a bucket...amurricans are damn spoiled...i say this as i have a 3 bdrm 2 bath house for just me...i must be a real american
