They could learn a lot from boating. I live on a boat, and coincidentally I have 160 sq. Ft. of indoor living area. In that space I have a functional kitchen w. Fridge, oven, cookers, freezer, microwave etc. A bathroom, a table where 8 people can sit and eat, bedroom, two chaiselongs, two guest beds, an office, cupboards and storage. And of course an engine and a steering console - which I presume isn't of much use in a normal apartment. I can also change the view out the window if don't like the current one. :-)

On the other hand, boats don't stack very well. But I'm sure you could take all the stuff from your 160-sq. Ft. boat and fit it just as easily into a stackable box-shaped 160 sq. Ft. apartment.

  I'm sure you could stack a few, they're pretty sturdy :-)

    But most of them don't have flat bottoms (or tops, for that matter).

Isn't boating quite a lot cheaper than conventional housing too.

  In my case I paid around $36.000 for the boat, and I pay on average $300 a month for mooring, electricity and heating. A small apartment in Copenhagen, which is where I live, is around $300.000. So yes, it's a lot cheaper. Also a lot more fun.

  The best definition of a boat I've heard is a hole in the water you throw money into.
