IKEA has furnished and is renting out a 10 m2 apartment in central Tokyo for about a dollar per month. It's clearly a gimmick of sorts as the furniture in the apartment are worth a lot more then that. Still looking at the pictures it looks like living in a nicely furnished prison cell, that is also very high (floor to ceiling). Any takers for such compact living? I dont think climbing around on ladders to get around is for me.

It seems very futuristic though; it is a staple of sci-fi to pack people like sardines in a can (Ripley's apartment in aliens, 5th element etc., etc.)

    "Let's not pretend to be stupid."

    Yes, post it here for everyone to read! It will never cease to amaze me how eagerly republicans swallow the lies from their leaders that shifts the blame elsewhere.

    And, what do Democrats swallow along with the lies their leaders tell them? Is that you, Monica Lewinsky?

    The republicans also waste money on useless things like unneeded wars and whatnot. That doesn't excuse the democrats from all their spending programs that just amount to more inflation either. Both parties have their issues.

      Stop swallowing the kool-aid. Republicans may be more nationalistic, but the democrats are bigger war-mongers.
