San Francisco Approves Tiny Apartments For Normal-Sized People With Tinier Budgets

In a triumphant victory for the producers of Hoarders, the city of San Francisco gave developers the go-ahead on Tuesday to enter a trial run of 375 “micro-apartments.”

At 220-square-feet, these Lilliputian dream homes were planned with the utmost efficiency in mind — space-saving hydraulic furniture, included — in order to follow the Board’s stipulations: Developers must allot at least 150 square feet to living space and bathroom and kitchen must be kept separate.

The tiny homes are marketed towards single adults who want to live in the city without breaking the bank. A current San Francisco complex with similar apartments, “SmartSpace,” is just barely roomier at 285 to 310 square feet and carry a price tag upwards of $959 a month.
