From CBS San Fran: San Francisco’s building code got downsized Tuesday with the Board of
Supervisor’s approval of a pilot program that will build efficiency
units, or apartments with reduced square footage requirements.
The board, in a 10-1 vote at Tuesday afternoon’s board meeting,
approved the ordinance that will change the definition of an efficiency
dwelling unit to include units that are as small as 220 square feet,
including the bathroom and closets.
Part of the legislation is a program that caps the construction of
these mini-apartments, at yet to be determined locations, to 375 units....
Wiener said the small apartments will offer people an option to live on
their own at more affordable prices, with the figure of about $1,500 per
month rent discussed as an average rate. http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2012/11/20/san-francisco-supervisors-approve-220-square-foot-apartments/
I'm sorry but paying $1500 a month for a 220 sq foot apartment is nothing but getting a closet and a bathroom. Maybe for some people who rarely spend time at home, this may a good idea but I am sure for most people, it is not worth it.
