Small Apartments

High density usually means small spaces to live in and I’m always interested in how people live in smaller confines.

New York City is one place in the world where many people live in tiny apartments.  I’ve blogged about this before and, here’s another example.

This time it’s a zero bedroom apartment that comprises only 90 square feet (8.36 square metres) that was reported in the New York Times.  It’s rented by Kirsten Dirksen in the Upper West side and requires doubled use of some features (like a toaster that doubles as banana storage) and a bathroom that looks like it came out of an airplane. 

But it rents for $700 per month (which is $175 per week) which is really really cheap.

You can read more about it here and watch a video of how Kirsten lives there below.

It’s seems pretty cosy but maybe that’s what we all need to get used to.
