Interesting new concepts .. IMO related to the computer age. These micros run $900 to $1800 a month.

Pretty neat, but way too expensive. I entertained the idea of converting a Dersksen building into a home, but then I met my girlfriend...
Too expensive! I lived in a studio apartment for $550 a month with utilities included that was bigger than that. Although I am also on the west coast. Now I live in a two bedroom apartment with a patio for $800 a month (I do have to pay utilities as well now). It's so nice, just enough space for two people and my two cats and it's affordable. I love it. I could never live in the city or in such a compact space for so much money. That's just ridiculous.
This is an interesting concept and a sad one. I live in Israel, immigrants dont bear down on housing like it is in UK, but supply side of housing is doing well..and that has been noticeable.
