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.)

The city had to put an ADA compliant sidewalk ramp on the corner of the top of a very steep hill that no one in a wheelchair could ever use. There are no buildings anywhere, just weeds.

Bah! Gobmint ruins everything. Let the cripples stand on their own 2 mangled stumps.
