This doesn't help, this is part of the problem. Predatory developers buy up properties, lie to the tenants to push them out of their rent control telling them the building will be demolished. They then renovate, chop apartments into smaller units and/or add extra bedrooms to jack up prices and squeeze as much out of the space as possible, then flip the building, rinse and repeat. The city does nothing to stop these people. There's no penalty against them lying about demolition. They can't even protect the tenants from harassment when they stay and defend their rent control. Also average $2200 in Pasadena? BS, 1000sf apt in Hollywood $3800... These greedy developers and impotent governments will be the death of many Angelenos.
😥😢😢 Yes, the city of LA wouldn’t help me against my greedy landlord that putted me out of my 9 years home 😭, now he is remodeling it, he already converted the garage into a “IUD” or something like that, that is supposed to provide housing to Angelinos but he is renting is as RB&B 🤷🏻♀️
I'm torn about these. I'm a minimalist and love tiny houses. I also lived in tiny one room apartments in Los Angeles for much of my adult life. But, the fact that people are being squeezed into more and more claustrophobic places due to insane housing prices is upsetting.

Most rentals in Pasadena are at least 50 years old. So that means you are paying an exorbitant amount to rent an outdated apartment. No garbage disposal, no air conditioning, no central heating etc.
One person per apartment, right? They will have 15 people coming in & out of one apartment. If they think anyone is going to obey that one-person max "rule," they are crazy.

@@kompa2004You may find this hard to believe but homeless people are human beings too. A total shocker right?? And human beings need companionship like anyone else does.
Make them affordable to Social Security and poor folks too though, Plus ownership like a condo with small fee to pay maintenance cost . No monthly rent that can fluctuate and thus frustrate a person's monthly fixed budget . 🏡✨ Older folks doesn't need to be stuck in a up and down rent cycle🏡🏡❤
Co-Op, not condo if that’s the direction. People on social security aren’t going to be able to pay condo mortgage, condo monthly fees, property taxes, insurance. Co-Op, it’s buy in, monthly “rent” that should cover expenses, then insurance. No mortgage, no property tax. And they need to be slightly bigger units for people needing assistive devices like walkers and wheelchairs
Also,. Percentage of income as an option. A fair response to a rent payment option. Then there is the Trust holding of property. Free to poor low income and can not be sold or bought. But given free as needed. Volunteerism to maintenance and upkeep as a added option by residents with skills in professional maintenance like plumbing, electrician, etc etc then a fee supplement to up keep and care of facilities etc
@@davwht9 oh I like that idea! Pay utilities of course which, depending on location, can be high some months. Making places energy efficient would be a huge help there. But something that gets people with $25,000 and under (a lot of fixed income folks) in the door, having the safety and security of a decent roof over their heads, would be such a huge help.
I have seen these. There’s only like 20 parking spaces and 400 something apartments. Don’t even think about street parking there. The fact that the reporter didn’t even mention parking is a problem and dishonest reporting.
Those micro apartments are built just like those in Chicago. Wait until it gets really hot outside and all of that heat will hit that brick wall, because there is no place for the heat to go and even with air conditioner, ones micro apartment will feel even hotter!
Lies the rent is $1225 not $700. Only 3% of the resident paid $762. All the rest paid $1225. Too small for $1225. By the way average rent is in Pasadena is between $2500 -3600 for 1 bed loft.
I have a friend who lives here that has his own online digital marketing company and makes about $400,000 a year. But because of how he structures things with his taxes he makes less than $50,000 a year. He's getting cheap rent and he gets to live in a decent part of Pasadena.
Something Pasadena didn't really need but someone in planning decided it was a great idea. It's great when developers and city personnel have a working relationship to benefit themselves
Be thankful! Try living in your car for a year or so. What, 37 Sq ft? Your toilet is an apple juice bottle. Have to park it in 24hr businesses. Police don't like it when you park on streets. Be thankful! 250-300 Sq ft for 1 person? Enormous! Again, be grateful, thankful for the opportunity to live in this place!
No, you should not be thankful. I could just as easily say you should be thankful to live in a car, peeing in a juice bottle because you could be living in a dumpster _in_ pee. There's always something worse and people should take a stand for a baseline standard of living. If that means leaving California (something I'm in the process of doing), then do it.
Nobody asked for this. We're one of the most advanced countries in the world and we're making micro apartments in 2023 like we're in feudal times. What's wrong with the city approving this?
There isn’t “enough” because corporations and private equities and all cash buyers buy properties and rig the rental market. Now we build sardine cans for humans to live by themselves and call it a success. Let’s see what these jail like buildings will look like in 20 years.
That square footage is more than sufficient for a single individual or an elderly person and homeless working individuals. $700/month is decent with all the amenities. More micro units should be built. Hopefully, people do not abuse it and there is security and inspections to keep it that way.
What is not reported here is how much they spent on this project. $250,000 per unit, or $1,000 per square foot - and I'm not sure of the incentives offered to the developer. The main problem with housing is that it is favored with too many incentives that reward it as an asset first. Strip away all the tax incentives for hedge funds, REITs, and investment groups.
They'd rather have disgruntled homeless people and garbage everywhere. I'm homeless in my car myself. I work and I'm not on drugs and trying to get housing but can't find any help or anything. I guess I'll keep sleeping and urinating in parking lots and trashing everything up..

@@tyjzohnrogers1109I'd rather sleep in my car and save the money to be able to get out than to spend it all feeding into the broken California economy, non-existent law enforcement and limp-wristed DAs who facilitate revolving door prisons. California is dead.
My thoughts exactly, just like our school system. This is how the "You'll own nothing and be happy" elites want us to live. Meanwhile, they live in sprawling mansions and fly in private jets! 😡
It’s funny how places like Japan have offered super tiny places to live for many many years but someone does it in the US and acts like they invented something different. $700 a month is STILL too high….renting is a scam.
I want to give my house away to my kids. Home ownership is just really unlikely in my state for average people now. As long as I have a full bathroom anything would be fine. Wish something like this was available in my area.
BAN private equities, corporations, all cash foreigners buyers from buying up property/land Pasadena. Let’s start doing that in smaller areas and keep our “small” towns for the people.
Plenty enough for one person . Sprawling one bedrooms for a single person is a foolish goal for a tenant . Stay with your relatives longer and save your $ . If you must move out seek affordable options OR live a life of debt , frustration , and complaint .
Only for the non documented. If you're a citizen, chances are, there will never be any space available and a forever waiting list. just look at the source behind the force.
Everything's a rental because we made abundant housing illegal decades ago. If sellers had to compete for the business of the general public, who prefer ownership, more would have to sell rather than rent. But because of limited supply, sellers can place any condition, like eye-popping rent instead of ownership, on people who have no alternatives.
I’d rather own a property that will keep renters safe & their rent low so they can stay & keep income coming in. What are all you high priced states going to do when nobody can pay your high rents? I visited San Diego last year & I saw a huge apartment building & it was completely empty the rents were $3000-$4000 a month. That is ridiculous!!
Such a great idea. We are going through this because of the greed of our fellow man. We, who (are supposedly) made in the image of a God who loves us and is good all the time... 😂 😂 😂 😂 What a crock of shit... 😂 😂 😂 😂
Control the insurance industry!! One cause of high housing. Insurance gets hiked double, why don't they go after the INSURANCE COMPANIES? Owners have to pay outragous insurance costs
We keep seeing these micro housing options. No. They are pushing to normalise this. See the housing pods that the wef is talking about where we are expected to live smaller in 'community' with shared living spaces.
Better than sleeping in a car. I'll still be sleeping in my car though, because apparently there's a waiting list, plus I can't even get that kind of money together while drowning in constant problems on the streets.
People complain about large houses being selfish, and then complain if builders make tiny living space situations. Basically the problem is the complainer being a failure who is self-entitled. Smart people move to where they can afford to live, not cry that they can't get a spot in a place where the majority of 8 billion people would kill to live there. By the way, most of these complainers and failures could change both those aspects with some sweat, discipline and persistence. I'm not trying to say these are bad people, I'm telling them to wake the f___ up. Life is hard for 99% of us out there. Toughen up and confront it.
One job is good enough for me! I think I’ll stay at my moms nice big house rent free! I would hate to be in a position where I have to work three jobs to live in a box, no thanks!

@@tyjzohnrogers1109I'd rather sleep in my car and save the money to be able to get out than to spend it all feeding into the broken California economy, non-existent law enforcement and limp-wristed DAs who facilitate revolving door prisons. California is dead.
My thoughts exactly, just like our school system. This is how the "You'll own nothing and be happy" elites want us to live. Meanwhile, they live in sprawling mansions and fly in private jets! 😡
Some people don't need, or want, even a medium-size place. I am one of them!
It’s funny how places like Japan have offered super tiny places to live for many many years but someone does it in the US and acts like they invented something different. $700 a month is STILL too high….renting is a scam.
Do they allow pets?
Yes
Just no girlfriends/boyfriends. You have to marry your pet or just be single forever 💀
Hopefully not. Would be animal abuse...
And no kids there is no space for children 😅
It's for singles
At least they are Spacious than a lot of homes in the UK at those prices.
Well, in Paris France we have the same size of apartments 😅.
And when we talk about affordability, well, isn’t cheap either.
The apartment is in front of freeway 210. That's why it's cheap. Moreover, parking is additional cost.
I want to give my house away to my kids. Home ownership is just really unlikely in my state for average people now. As long as I have a full bathroom anything would be fine. Wish something like this was available in my area.
What are homeless in wheelchairs supposed to do?
@@capstar633 become illegal
That little boy has his own place and tattoos
Come on politicos - we need more affordable housing like this - please
omg this is awesome like a deluxe size Japanese home lol
🤡
BAN private equities, corporations, all cash foreigners buyers from buying up property/land Pasadena. Let’s start doing that in smaller areas and keep our “small” towns for the people.
Plenty enough for one person . Sprawling one bedrooms for a single person is a foolish goal for a tenant . Stay with your relatives longer and save your $ . If you must move out seek affordable options OR live a life of debt , frustration , and complaint .
Awesome 😎
It probably cost $1000 for a studio which is still high.
Only for the non documented. If you're a citizen, chances are, there will never be any space available and a forever waiting list. just look at the source behind the force.
Where are you dreaming up this idea from? They said it’s for those how show a certain income. Which means taxes, pay stubs, likely a W-2.
You believe anything@InnerGiggles
@@lexusgirl9918 nah. I just know what regulations and policies say. Good luck.
You will own nothing and you will be happy
Everything's a rental because we made abundant housing illegal decades ago. If sellers had to compete for the business of the general public, who prefer ownership, more would have to sell rather than rent. But because of limited supply, sellers can place any condition, like eye-popping rent instead of ownership, on people who have no alternatives.
Put up a homeless building in the area. That will help the safety of the neighborhood.
This is great, there should be more options like this for people who want it or need it.
I’d rather own a property that will keep renters safe & their rent low so they can stay & keep income coming in. What are all you high priced states going to do when nobody can pay your high rents? I visited San Diego last year & I saw a huge apartment building & it was completely empty the rents were $3000-$4000 a month. That is ridiculous!!
53000 divided by 12 isn’t 700 a mo
this very standard a one room studio in EU. what you nagging about ? and it cast just 700 a month.
@@saibalghosh-t5c the eu’s are getting usury too
Eat the bugs!!!
Such a great idea. We are going through this because of the greed of our fellow man. We, who (are supposedly) made in the image of a God who loves us and is good all the time... 😂 😂 😂 😂 What a crock of shit... 😂 😂 😂 😂
Control the insurance industry!! One cause of high housing. Insurance gets hiked double, why don't they go after the INSURANCE COMPANIES? Owners have to pay outragous insurance costs
We keep seeing these micro housing options. No. They are pushing to normalise this. See the housing pods that the wef is talking about where we are expected to live smaller in 'community' with shared living spaces.
Good video
It looks like a modern prison wing. The inmates are paying to live in a cell.
Jeeze this is gonna bring down the neighborhood lol
It looks like prison.
Better than sleeping in a car. I'll still be sleeping in my car though, because apparently there's a waiting list, plus I can't even get that kind of money together while drowning in constant problems on the streets.
Some of us like cozy places that are a snap to clean :)
People complain about large houses being selfish, and then complain if builders make tiny living space situations. Basically the problem is the complainer being a failure who is self-entitled. Smart people move to where they can afford to live, not cry that they can't get a spot in a place where the majority of 8 billion people would kill to live there.
By the way, most of these complainers and failures could change both those aspects with some sweat, discipline and persistence. I'm not trying to say these are bad people, I'm telling them to wake the f___ up. Life is hard for 99% of us out there. Toughen up and confront it.
One job is good enough for me! I think I’ll stay at my moms nice big house rent free! I would hate to be in a position where I have to work three jobs to live in a box, no thanks!
They are trying to normalize this shit
This should not be the norm. These are called coffins
That roof looks dangerous
