Very wrong. Lots of kids get tiny places.
Just before I found the apartment where I've been for the past 4+ years, we looked at a teeny tiny place in the Village -- smaller than the bathroom in the master bedroom at my father's house, with no elevator, no doorman and a musty odor, all for about $1300/mo. And right outside was another customer from the same R/E firm waiting to see the place, and he was at *least* in his 40s -- definitely *not* a kid!
