Here’s the fine living in San Fran. http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/S-F-supervisors-back-micro-apartments-4055493.php

I’d actually love something like that in SD, if it’s within a mile or two of the beach, in a good area, and costs under say $80k to buy or $700 to rent. This being said, the layout is crappy-yappy. Same goes for the proposed units in NYC. My building has a few units of similar size (built in 1910-1911!) and the layouts are much better. The entrance is in the middle on the long wall, so you don’t waste 10%+ of the floor space with the “grand entry corridor.”
