| Possible San Francisco Apartment? |
From the San Francisco Chronicle: Are itty-bitty apartments the next wave for urban dwellers in San Francisco?
The city is considering shrinking the minimum size of rental units, prompted by a demographic shift toward one-person households along with rising rents and an acute housing shortage.
"This seems like a logical, necessary response to housing in an extremely high-cost market like San Francisco," said Tim Colen, executive director of the San Francisco Housing Action Coalition, a largely developer-backed nonprofit that is "solidly behind" cutting the size of the smallest allowable apartment by about a third.
The new minimum would be 150 square feet plus kitchen, bathroom and closet - 220 square feet in total, about the size of a one-car garage. The current minimum with all rooms included is 290 square feet.

220 square feet total? That's the size of the master bedroom and closet in out town home.
The guy who wants to do this is planning on renting the "apartment" for $1300-1500 a month. He also would have some low income apartments that go for $900.
Nope, that's not for me.
