As someone who lives in an actual 1900s tenement that costs twice what these do without any of the amenities, I'd be happy to live in one of those for $1000/month if they were in Lower Manhattan or West Brooklyn. For those who value location and low cost, these would be amazing. For reference, the micro-apartment experiment we have here: "Enter My Micro NY, the city's first micro-apartment complex, at 335 East 27th Street, with 55 units ranging from 260 to 360 square feet. The building will begin leasing studios this summer for around $2,000 to $3,000 a month" The same price as non-microapartments in the studio-1BR range. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/22/realestate/micro-apartments-tiny-homes-prefabricated-in-brooklyn.html http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/22/realestate/micro-apartment...
