Perfect design for a Roach-Motel-by-the-Bay. The more liberals that can be condensed into smaller spaces the better for humans who may be forced to live nearby.

Has anyone heard of Agenda 21?

Those of us who talk about it are called kooks. Meanwhile, your life and your rights are being taken away ...one by one.

It’s a great idea. For single people, the smaller the better in most cases. If I could be sure of adequate noise protection, I’d love to move into one myself. Well, not in SF (I DO have standards). :)

A lot of people in Europe have lived like this for generations.

They just don’t have as much “stuff” as we do.

If a jail cell is big enough for two prisoners it’s good enough for 2 people in san fran. 220 feet is to big.

BTW Our local Ikea has a 200 some foot floor plan setup at the MOA store. I suspect others do as well. If the doors and windows are closed I’ll bet I could pass gas and blow a window out.

No thanks!

A tiny apartment, smaller than a “studio” with kitchenette, bath, walk in closet etc is called an efficiency, and can actually be nice for a single person on a budget. Besides, no one is forcing anyone to sign a lease, and if they want they can go over to Stockton and rent a whole house for probably less.

Might as well live in a Winnebago or camping trailer.

In that painfully small space...you'd better hope you blow a window out!

I’m single and live in a 2,500 sf home. I have RV parking and a driveway that will hold 5-6 cars. My daughter, hubby and grandkids have moved back in with me.

I’m thinking about getting a large 5th and moving into it with the kids in the big house. You can bet this thing won’t cost $1,700 per month. Hell, I don’t pay anywhere near that for my home.

My initial thought was this wasn’t a bad idea. Heck, my first apartment probably wasn’t 300 sq. ft. It might get some kids out of there parents home.

But $1200-$1700??? That’s just crazy. It’s not as bad as New York, but close.

I’m not opposed to Single Occupancy Dwellings in crowded spaces but wow.

Good G*d!

Jumping on craigslist I just found a 2100 sq ft, 3 bed, 2 bathroom, house with 3 car garage, yard, hot tub, in a nice neighborhood for $1700 / month here in boise.

I’ve got one of the awesomest homes in Reno, and I also own a pretty nice house that is also horse property on the north side of town. I pay less between both of my mortgages (and I overpay intentionally 600 bucks a month), than my friends niece pays for RENT in San Francisco.
