I was looking at prices for a small room in Manhattan storage. The price of a room slightly bigger than a double-size mattress is $150/mo, for a pretty central location. YMCA membership for $40/mo for your running water, and bam, an apartment for < $200/mo in Manhattan. Sure, it won't be cozy, but I wonder whether it'd be feasible to have crazy-cheap housing like this.
- sam 17y agoCan you spend the night at the storage place? Are you worried about having the door locked behind you?
- jotto 17y agono, you are not allowed to live in storage units, but in the article many people spent the days there, ran businesses there or watched tv in it.
- Devilboy 17y agoSounds like the capsule hotels they have in Japan which are basically just a tiny cube containing a bed and a TV for about $20 a night
- bravura 17y agoWe found a room for $80/mo by the West Side Highway in Chelsea. The price was great because of the time of the year, maybe the beginning of the school year. If you can periodically, you can probably find a good deal at some point.
- pmorici 17y agoI've seen lots of small businesses that use self storage units for workshops and inventory storage. Probably cheaper than office space.
