Since I mentioned micro apartments in the last post I made.....

There has been about 100 of these articles floating around on business websites the past few months. I realize there have been small places for a long time and there are a lot of crap holes around the world equally as small, but now it's getting trendier in the US apparently.
So lets see...you build a new building...convince people that living in a closet benefits the environment/saves them money/whatever else you need to throw in there to make them bite. You save space, which means you get to cram more units in there.....and then you get to charge more per sq. foot than the average prices in the area for a rat hole? It's genius. Not only do the scabbers get to take $50,000 in debt with them home when they leave college, they get to pay through their noses for a new equally cramped Dorm room in the city.

Typically ranging between 180 and 300 square-feet, these tiny apartments are becoming increasingly popular among the young-and-single set and even some retirees, seeking affordable places to live in the nation's costliest cities.
