160 square feet is bad...but 250 is definitely livable. I've lived in apartments not much bigger for the 7 years I've been in school. And most of them had killer views, which made up for the cramped feeling of the apartment. For those who were dropping huge $$$ on high rent, finally having something to own makes a lot of sense.

In north Oakland, Pittsburgh, PA, I got 250 sq. ft. in 1991 for $337, parking included. It was a roach infested pit, but it was on budget, and I was in law school.
