I enjoyed reading this. It wouldnt' be heaven for me, but I like the idea of it. I like the giving up of materialistic hobbies and spendign the money on travelling.

I wouldn't like living there at ALL! I'm a woman who likes a lot of space. It does make my tiny apartment look bigger.  That's the only thing I have against my apartment -- it's too small. I guess they expect low income people to live minimalistic. As I've stated before, I am NOT and NEVER WILL BE a minimalist. The apartment featured in the article is just too small and too bare for my taste. I would have claustrophobic attacks all the time if I had to live in a place that small.
Plus, how can 2 cats use the litterbox if it's under the sink? Is it behind the door?

Hi, I LOVE small spaces, but this is TOO much  I cannot imagine having all my clothes stashed at various dry cleaners.... But it does give you something to think about. |

I feel faint and may have to go lie down.
I'm happy they're so happy, but I really don't think I could live my life in one teensy room.

I'm happy for them, but living in a place so small would drive me nuts. Two people and two cats in a space about the size of my bedroom? Nonononono. No cooking, no clothes, no hobbies, and nothing in the fridge is not and is never going to be me.

They could fit that whole apartment into my living room.

That teeny apartment is mighty small and very cute - I lived in Manhattan for a good portion of the 90's and it was true for me and my roomates that we were rarely in our apartments unless we were sleeping. We were working, all the time - or out dancing |

Unbelievable.
What do they do when they have a tiff?
Hide in the bathroom?
Fume at each other from opposite sides of the bed?
Stomp off?
Hmmm...

Wow. I admire it, and I will grant I own way too much for one person, but...I wouldn't want to live like that. I want to have people over, I like to sometimes cook at home. I absolutely dont think that 1 closet worth of clothes is overkill!
