I've had friends and a relative live in government subsidized housing (built in the sixties and seventies), and those apartments were way larger than the apartments everyone here is talking about on this thread. I'm really amazed at how it seems that more and more of these tiny little apartments are getting built. Just looking at pictures of them on real estate websites, makes one feel claustrophobic.

Yeah, but aren't most of those place hellholes in dicey neighborhoods? I may pay a lot for my little cell, but it's in a fairly safe neighborhood (more so with the SWAT team, Emergency Services Unit and other NYPD and military units periodically stationed down here), the building has a lot of what they call "amenities" and we have 24-hour doorman service.
