Simple life Manhattan: a 90-square-foot microstudio

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ต.ค. 2010
  • By choosing a studio that measures just 12 feet by 7 feet, Felice Cohen can afford to live in Manhattan's Upper West Side where apartments rent for an average of $3,600 per month.
    She pays just over $700 for her 90-square-foot micro-studio. After a bit of adjustment, she now loves living smaller, simpler, and cozier.

      And New York politicians did a great job trashing the real estate market in New York so that demand runs way ahead of supply, driving the cost of apartments to these skyhigh rates, thus encouraging the creation of such apartments in the private sector.
      And useful idiots who wouldn't know a bad idea even if it punched them in the face with a stamp that says, "Bad Idea" elects these politicians and encourages them to make these bad policies.

      Some people work a lot and being a few minutes from work is more than worth it. People like to say taking a train to Manhattan from Queens or Brooklyn is 20 mins. It is not... I live 7 miles from lower Manhattan in Brooklyn and sometimes it takes me over 1.5 hours to get to work via train. By car it's no better either if there's traffic and you get stuck for an hour. If it takes me 1-1.5 hours to go each way for work that's almost 3 hours out of the day spent on commuting.

      ​@Your Name Here If someone wants to trade personal space for being around others in a city because that's what makes them happy (e.g. maybe they like the library or coffee shop because they want to be around people), is that such a bad thing? They may not like the same things as you ... or me, for that matter. I personally love that other people like different things than me, otherwise all the hikes and camping spots would be crowded as hell.

    "They have parks here. They have gyms all over." Just a heads up Kirsten, they have restaurants, parks, gyms, in every metro area. The difference is that these other places have apartments that are affordable with 10x your space. A large bathroom, a real kitchen and usually a laundry area. But I'm sure Manhattan is worth it. *rolls eyes*

      It doesn’t even need to be 10x the size to be waaaay more comfortable.

But even the single person ”dorm rooms” I’ve lived in weren’t that crammed and were of larger surface area in temselves, and then I had separate regular size community bathrooms and kitchens etc. 😂
