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.)

    Ummm, what is an,

    Gang leaders are treated like etrepreneurs

    etrepreneur? Does this have something to do with Trepanation? Or is is just yet again another failure by the Miniscule Runaway to comprehend Langue Française? So near New Orleans, but so far from culture and education, that is our Runaway. Arkansas for lever! Or something.

    Scroll down to the next comment. A more intelligent person than yourself managed to understand the misspelling of a word. Try harder, troll.

    This is a blog comment, not a dissertation. If your thinking is so robotic that you can't even interpret a simple typo you need to upgrade your brain's spell correction software.

      Because the parent

      Just elect Democrats, who push the socialist agenda, while at the same time disarming honest citizens, all while defunding the police and declining to prosecute criminals.

      is super not-robotic-totally-reasonable.

      Republicans, delicate stupid snowflakes.
